See paragraph 422 of the Irish of West Muskerry. There are many words with metathesis in WM irish, eg láithreach, pronounced láirtheach; deichniúr, pronounced deinthiúr; milse, pronounced mísle; urchar, pronounced ruchar, etc. The word for sleeve “muinchille” is pronounced muinirthle (muinchille>muinichle>muinirthle /minʹirhlʹi/).

  really interesting to see the rest. I recently purchased “Materials for a bibliography of the Very Reverend Peter Canon O’Leary”
  by Shán Ó Cuív and was very surprised at the amount the man produced. The fact that you are making some of this work available
  is, in my opinion, of great importance.
