These are used in the chorus of Gaelic songs - they are mainly meaningless vocables or syllables that have sound and rhythm, but no meaning. Illean is connected with the word gille - so it means 'lads'. Eile means 'other'.Horo and oro do not have a meaning.

Hoginn may have a meaning though it is not spelled here in the traditional way. It may mean 'I would raise' (thogainn - pronounced approximately hoginn) as in 'I would raise a song'.
