Is there some tradition that a fainne ring is only worn by native Irish speakers. I heard this somewhere, not sure if it is true. Thanks. --Dmol 11:24, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Recently added English meaning "a pin badge worn to show fluency in, or a willingness to speak, the Irish language". While we're verifying it, maybe someone can find out what the English plural is: fáinnes? Or is the Irish plural fáinní borrowed as well? —Angr 11:38, 4 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Also, an English pronunciation would be nice. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 11:59, 4 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

The citations are for [[fainne]]. Can this spelling be cited, too? Otherwise, the entry can easily be moved to [[fainne]]. - -sche (discuss) 19:37, 6 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
