[I have been reading George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire (the Game of Thrones series) over the last few
months. It seems like a lot of the characters in it have had one or both ears lopped off. Hence I am less impressed by this last
seanfhocal as an expression of certainty than I would have been at the beginning of the year.]

Pronunciation note: ao is like a broad é in Munster. Like a broad í elsewhere.
