I found that the dictionary entry for Grandfather in Scottish Gaelic is "[seanair] nm. g. -ar; pl.+ean, grandfather" does anyone have any idea how to pronounce it???

At an educated guess "shawna"

My pal is from Lewis and always refers to her grandfather as " My Shen".
This is what her DS will call her father also.

If it were Irish, it would be pronounced Shannar. Am pretty sure should be similar in Scots Gaelic.
