> Slainte

  From the Concise Oxford Dictionary Ninth Edition:

slainte /, Gaelic / int. 
a Gaelic toast: good health!
[Gaelic sláinte, literally ‘health’]

  The COD Ninth Edition is my private one with the pronounciation. On my
laboratory Windows NT pc I do not have a sound card, so I must remember
to listen to this entirely new word for me at home. 
  In preparation for my next sip of Guinness,

Slainte,
  H.
