I have not followed a fixed rule as to the spelling of Irish names; I have taken the spelling I give from various good authorities, but they vary so much that, complete accuracy not being easy, I sometimes look to custom and convenience.  I use, for instance, “Slieve” for “Sliabh,” because it comes so often, and a mispronunciation would spoil so many names.  I have treated “Inbhir” (a river mouth) in the same way, spelling it “Inver,” and even adopting it as an English word, because it is so useful.  The forty scholars of the New School of Old Irish will do us good service if they work at the question both of spelling and of pronunciation of the old names and settle them as far as is possible.
