Editing Aos Sí (section)

==Types==
The [[banshee]] or ''bean sídhe'' (from {{langx|sga|ban síde}}), which means "woman of the ''sídhe''",<ref>[[Dictionary of the Irish Language]]: ''[http://www.dil.ie/37441 síd, síth]'' and ''[http://www.dil.ie/5644 ben]''</ref> has come to indicate any supernatural woman of Ireland who announces a coming death by wailing and [[keening]]. Her counterpart in [[Scottish mythology]] is the ''bean sìth'' (sometimes spelled ''bean-sìdh''). Other varieties of ''aos sí'' and ''daoine sìth'' include the Scottish ''[[bean-nighe]]'' (the washerwoman who is seen washing the bloody clothing or [[armour]] of the person who is doomed to die), the ''[[leanan sídhe]]'' (the "fairy lover"), the ''[[cat-sìth]]'' (a fairy cat), and the ''[[cù-sìth]]'' (a fairy dog).

The ''[[Sluagh|sluagh sídhe]]''—"the fairy host"—is sometimes depicted in Irish and Scottish lore as a crowd of airborne spirits, perhaps the cursed, evil or restless dead. The ''siabhra'' (anglicised as "sheevra"), may be a type of these lesser spirits, prone to evil and mischief.<ref>MacKillop, James (2004) ''[http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O70-sabair.html Dictionary of Celtic Mythology]''</ref><ref>Joyce, P.W. [https://archive.org/details/asocialhistorya00joycgoog/page/n301 <!-- pg=271 --> ''A Social History of Ancient Ireland''], Vol. 1, p. 271</ref> However, an [[Ulster]] folk song also uses "sheevra" simply to mean "spirit" or "fairy".<ref>[http://my.montana.net/aliceflynn/gartan.html "The Gartan Mother's Lullaby"] published 1904 in ''The Songs of Uladh'', lyrics by Seosamh MacCathmhaoil (Joseph Campbell)</ref>
