Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    raoire (raoireann sa logthuiseal agus sa tuiseal ginideach), et var., le fáil i roinnt logainmneacha luatha eile. Tagann tagairtí anuas chugainn ó chuid de na foinsí Gaeilge is sine dá maireann, ach ní léir brí don fhocal.
    Is cosúil go bhfuil iarracht den bhuille faoi thuairim ar na foirmeacha Gaeilge 1475c ‘ teampull Ruighri’, 1595 ‘ Rira Mor’ agus 1608/9 ‘ Ririe beag’ — an chéad cheann díobh is fearr is dócha. Tá tagairt sa Dinnsheanchas sa Leabhar Laighneach do 1160c ‘ Róiriu i nÚib Falge’, ina ndéantar iarracht an logainm a cheangal le pearsa darb ainm ‘ Róiriu mac Setnai’. Déantar tagairt sa láimhscríbhinn chéanna do 1160c ‘ ic Rairind in Huib Muredaig’ i gCill Dara, ainm dá ndearna bf Mullach Raoileann (#25156) le díshamhlú rrn > rln. Taispeánann bf Tom Raoileann (#55676) i gCill Mhantáin an díshamhlú céanna.
