I've got to engrave a watch with 'forever in my heart'

The guy has given me 'Go siorai i mo chroi'

Question is, He has handwritten the text and he has added a slash/accent(?) over both the lower case 'i' in 'siorai' are they accents or could they just be sloppy handwrighting, he has certainly put a dot over the lone 'i' but it appears to be back to an accent on the 'i' in 'chroi'

What is right?

Hoping for a quick reply as the guy in comming in at lunchtime to collect

Thanks

Does it look like that?

Not a Garlic speaker but they are accents. :aidan

Don't blame me though if he's a sloppy writer :blast

Cheers that's exactly what it looks like, now i just need to know weather its correct for both 'siorai' and 'chroi' in that sentence?

There is a back accent : chroí :thumb








Edit : Thunder beat me to it:blast
 
Ah well many thanks for all your help, but it appears I have wasted your time, i can't seperate the strap or remove the back so its a no go till he can get that sorted.

I'd have more of a go myself but the watch is a bit special, its has white gold case with thirty or so diamonds encrusted around the front and the dial has ruby chips set in to mark the numbers, its a 'big buck' watch and i'm quite glad to delay the proceedings a little. The guy commissioned the watch for his missus and forgot to get it engraved by the maker:rolleyes:

BTW One diamond has already fallen out of its setting (not my fault i must add)

Cheers chaps

"An bhaca tu mo Haymachine?"
"Ta mo bhicycle gan!"

Why do these stick in my mind?
What does it all mean?
Can I sue the Christian Brothers ?
