Talk:Sidhe

Was this term ever used in the series? -- Matt 17:50, 5 January 2009 (CST)

Yes. Goliath uses it in "The Hound of Ulster". "Are we in Ireland, then? The Sidhe were of Ireland in ancient times." or something like that. --GregX 18:03, 5 January 2009 (CST)

Ah, yes, that's right. Thanks! -- Matt 18:25, 5 January 2009 (CST)

So it's pronounced "shee" then? -- Demonskrye 06:54, 6 January 2009 (CST)

I always thought he said "The 'shee were of Ireland in ancient times." DTaina 08:00, 6 January 2009 (CST)

Yeah, that sounds correct to me as well. -- Matt 08:19, 6 January 2009 (CST)

The conversation went like this:

"I am called The Banshee."

"Are we in Ireland, then? The 'Shee were of Ireland in ancient times."

"This is Ireland, indeed."

So, I think he was referring to the Banshee, plural, hence the 'shee, not the Children of Oberon themselves. DTaina 09:07, 6 January 2009 (CST)

Sidhe is pronounced 'shee'. --GregX 11:00, 6 January 2009 (CST)

Oh, and the more traditional spelling for Banshee is 'bean sidhe.' Pay no attention to the English rules of pronunciation when dealing with Gaelic. --GregX 11:02, 6 January 2009 (CST)

Okay... got this e-mail from Greg. "Sidhe is pronounced She. But that doesn't mean that Sidhe is a synonym for Oberon's Children, anymore than Asgardian is." --GregX 13:16, 6 January 2009 (CST)

If Sidhe is a subset of the Third Race, rather than a synonym, then we should consider creating a group article for them, along the lines of Kachina or Aesir. We also need to edit the article on Oberon's Children to reflect this, and perhaps include a list of the subsets we know about, as well as the individuals? (After a quick check, I notice we haven't mentioned Kachina anywhere at all in that article.) -- Supermorff 14:37, 6 January 2009 (CST)

Oops, guess I was wrong about the spelling. Thanks for clearing that up, Greg! DTaina 17:00, 6 January 2009 (CST)
