I agree with the others. It sounds like Scots rather than Gaelic. If people were "fechin'" they were fighting in my part of Lowland Scotland. My father used the word.

This isn't REALLY genealogy, I guess. I'm trying to find out how a (presumably) Gaelic word is spelled. My mother used to refer to our cat "feching" -- when he was hissing loudly. The "ch" pronounced as in "loch." So -- can anyone tell me if that's Scots Gaelic, and if so how it's spelled?
