I believe the fada can only go one way... Though I'm not even remotely knowledgeable when it comes to the Irish language.
The fada's purpose is to elongate the sound and slainte has a short e sound.
I think. I dropped Irish when I was 13.

Edit - and I never learned Irish in the first place, just what I've managed to pick up myself.

Originally posted by st00p1dfac3I just checked my NODE and it has it as slainte with no fada but my Irish dictionary has it as sláinte. Since the sound over the a is accented in the pronounciation I would suspect that the NODE's version is incorrect.
