How does one pronounce 'adhar' (I believe it means sky or air?)? Thank you :)

Having searched a few good resources, I don't think adhar exists as a word. There are a few words containing that combination of letters and then it is mostly pronounced like the English word "ire".

Aer is "sky" or "air", pronounced like English "air".

Well, there is adharc, which means "horn" or "peak". I've never seen adhar either, though.
Await confirmation always, please.

adhar is the Scottish Gaelic spelling for what in Irish is written as aer, and does mean "air" or "sky"

wolfgirl: If a dictionary (online or otherwise) refers to itself as "Gaelic", nowadays it usually means that it is Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig), rather than Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge), which is now commonly referred to simply as "Irish". The two are closely related, but nowadays distinct, languages (like Spanish and Portuguese).
I'm still a learner, so be sure to get input from others, especially for tattoos.
