Death bird isn't 'bás éan'. Im a little unsure about what you mean exactly: Éan an bháis would be death bird/bird of death Éan bheatha - bird of life Éan bheatha an bháis maybe Bird of life of death??? Definitely wait for more! I remember it well The first time that I saw Your head round the door Cos mine stopped working

"death bird" seems to be one unit, further modified by "life." death bird = éan báis death bird of life = éan báis na beatha Staa minti in-magi in-sin Staa minti ank tigekto

I hold down ctrl and alt and press the letter but there are letters already accented above the text box that you can just click on! I have to be awkward!
