What is the pronunciation for Gaelic qword breagha?

The Gaelic word is actually spelled breagha (without a "q"). The pronunciation is approximately:

Bray-ah

The stress is on the first syllable ("Bray"). The "gh" is a voiceless velar fricative, similar to the "ch" in the Scottish "loch" or the German "Bach," but softer and often barely pronounced, almost a breath. The "a" in the second syllable is a short "a" as in "cat."
