It will probably get too confusing if we have two games going on the same thread. We have one game going on this thread, and one game going on another thread, but you could start a game on a third thread. Or you could correctly guess the answer to one of the existing games, and then you'd be "it".

Focal.ie has...

zaipire fir4 (gnáthchaint · colloquial)
gu: zaipire, ai: zaipirí, gi: zaipirí
cnaipire fir4 (dímholta · superseded)
gu: cnaipire, ai: cnaipirí, gi: cnaipirí
...but I suspect everyone just says "zapper".

Thanks, but I'll pass it on to the next guy. My unit will be out on maneuvers for most of the next three-week period, so I won't be able to monitor this thread as closely as I'd like to!

Perhaps Murk would like to have a go then...didn't he say he had one already?

If not, I can start one later.
