Just to Lynchy, we're both right.

loinnir is the noun, while lonraigh is the verb.

I just assumed you wanted the noun.

another word is -
Snas

which might be better in this context.

For me "Lonraigh" is more like something that emits light like the Sun.

But I could be wrong.
With my translations always (without exception) wait for others to confirm or correct.

snas (polish) is fine. Loinnir (gleam/glint - in the context of one's eyes, for example) is perfect I reckon.

Sweet thanks for all your help :D

I think Loinnir fits best as when you put it in the dictionary you get

TRANSLATION:
loinnir = brilliance f
loinnir = n sheen f
loinnir = n shimmering f
loinnir = n shine f
Which is perfect as im starting a car detailing buisness :)

Now as im looking at having this as a buisness name I really, really need to know how to pronounce it? Any help would be awesome!
