I have a client with a surname of Clough and they too pronounce it Cluff.

what if he was from Slough. Try to explain that to a china man. Clough from Slough. I know there are some weird irish translations from gaelic were the name is transformed to ough and it can at times be pronounced ock like lock.

You realize Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic are two different things right?

Don't know how much of a football fan you are, but Brian Clough would be the obvious example:

yup. ALmost there. Now go google scottish Gaelic. And then go to above post.

So now you're arguing about Scottish vs. Irish Gaelic with someone who learned basic Irish Gaelic in grammar school. Brilliant. You really are something.
You might want to actually google that instead of blurting out complete nonsense like you have the slightest clue what you're talking about, lest you make yourself look like even more of a fool than you already have.
'ough' is pronounced "uh" in Irish Gaelic. It is never "ock." You're an absolute buffoon.
Looney4Clooney
nope. Scottish was influenced by Irish. Lough for example is spelled loch and pronounced lock in scottish gaelic.
I never said all words, which was the point explaining how things can be complicated. I think that was pretty evident. I never stated some universal rule pertaining to irish gaelic. You are having a debate with something i never said. Perhaps you could take your hog fiance for a walk instead of undermining imaginary arguments nobody made.

You said Irish translations, not Scottish you ing also-ran imbecile.
