Noun:
- In Irish caoineadh (lament) for recently-deceased members of the O?Grady, the O?Neill, the O?Brien, the O?Connor, and the Kavanagh families, translations into English made a distinction between the banshee and other fairy folk that the original language and original stories do not seem to have, and thus the current image of the banshee.
