Comments:
1) Small typo - you forgot the 'a' at the end - but otherwise
2) Although Irish does have a lot of vowels, whenever you get four of them in a row, you've done something wrong - most likely you added a vowel where you should have removed one (hint hint)
3) Same deal as #2
4)
5) Another small typo - you typed d instead of l - but otherwise as well

Thank you, I suppose this is right then

bliain=Blian
feoil=feol

I hope the Martians are in a good mood or drinking, or maybe their guns are jammed. Can you jam ray guns. Anyway, I'll never learn if I never try. I have no resource books, so I'll rcord your corrected answers for my record.
ceart=ceirt
céard=céird
líon=lín
bacach=bacaich
cearc=ceirc
iníon=inín
Am I dead?
Thanks for the practice!

I thhought I'd give the Venutians a shot at me before the Martians checked my work. Then, if I duck, they'll get each other.

Do I start ducking? It was fun. Can't wait to hear. GRMA

bliana and feola (remember those a's)

Although, making the word ending broad and adding an 'a' to the end are two separate things - so it looks like you're getting the hang of depalatalization (that's the fancy word for making an ending broad). It just happens that a lot of times, when you depalatalize a word, you wind up having to add an 'a' as well, so it couldn't hurt to get used to it.

Yeah, it might be advisable to duck . . . corrections include cirt and circ (remember, ea goes to i); bacaigh (ach becomes aigh); and baincéara (éi goes to éa).

As a side note, a few of these would require other changes as well, if you were actually forming the genitive - namely líne, iníne, circe, and mara. But that's beside the point for now.

Tahnks to all who have contributed to my education. With no resource book to figure this out, it would have taken me years of trial & error or just stumbling across the word in its different forms to get what I got here.
Now let me see if I got this right after your help:
ceart=cirt
céard=céird
líon=líne
bacach=bacaigh
cearc=circe
iníon=iníne

agus

baincéir=baincéora
greim=greama
móin=móna
muir=mura
Is that right.
