oh, and also re speur, the vowel varies by dialect as well. I say sp[iǝ]r, but some places would say sp[e:]r.
theoretically Islay is a place where eu never, or basically never, breaks (i.e., becomes a diphthong), but since that’s from Ionad Chaluim Chille Ìle, they probably know better than I do what the local pronunciation would be.
