The Irish language does not have a "y" letter, so im going to assume that the same was true for old Irish before it evolved into the present language. As ogham was a written form of old Irish, and was mainly used to depict names of kings and gravestones, there would have been no use for a "y" as it wasnt present in the language.

i hope this gives some indication as o why you cant find the right translation.

In the Ogham language, the letter "y" is represented by the character Sail. Sail represents the "s" sound in early Ogham inscriptions.

How do you say I love you in Ogham?

You can't say I love you in ogham. But you can write it. Ogham isn't as much a spoken language as it is a written one. But it isn't really a written one either. It's more of an oral. Ogham consists of lines and symbols. I am unable to draw out the symbols but I can tell you the names of them. I love you would be translated into Iodhadh Luis Onn _____ Eadha _____ Onn U'r.

What is Ogham?

Ogham is a form of alphabet used in ancient times in Ireland and Britain. It consisted of various groups of parallel lines cut into the edge of a stone, with the combinations making up to either 20 or 25 letters. The lines were either slanted upwards to the right, horizontal, or downward to the right, allowing for a variety of letters to be created with just a few marks. "An Ogham" might refer to an inscription in this language.
