I've located the meaning and pronunciation of the first word but not
the second one.

Are you sure about the spelling of the second word? From what I can
tell, the letter J doesn't seem to be used in Irish Gaelic.

Hello!!I do not know what the actual Irish Gaelic letter in the second
word is though it looks like a J to me.

hello!! I believe that the last letter of the second word is a G
though it looks somewhat like a J.If you want to see the word how they
have written it you can go to :http://www.cafeshops.com/gaelic
                         Thank you!!!

Thanks!  Seeing it really helped.

The first word oráiste means "orange" (i.e., the color).  It's
pronounced "orahsthah."

The second word is actually "dearg" (yep, the first letter is a 'd').
Dearg means "red" (again, the color). It's pronounced "djahreg."
