There's a website (pantheon.org) which has a pronunciation guide. Might help with some of your Goddesses. :) I'm afraid I can't help you with your key, though.

I don't know if it's correct or not. What language is it from?:confused:

The only "celtic" language that has "zh" is Breton, so that is my guess. That is not going to be much help to you with pronouncing names of goddesses. However, if you have one in mind and it is Gaelic in origin, just ask- as I speak fair Irish.
