Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the grove of the cliff, declivity
faill — foirm de aill a fhaightear i ndeisceart na tíre

Cf. leis an fhianaise stairiúil do bf An Fhailligh Bheag Íochtarach/Uachtarach (#28176), tamaillín soir uaidh seo i gContae Laoise. Ní hiad seo na samplaí is sia ó thuaidh de faill le f- tosaigh, áfach: is é, is dócha, atá sa chéad eilimint de bf Faill an Fhraoigh/Fallarees Commons (#25637) ar theorainn Chill Dara agus Chill Mhantáin, baile fearainn beag bídeach (7 acra) nach raibh ann ach aill ghéar cois Life (tá an áit seo báite faoi Loch Pholl an Phúca anois ach amháin barra na haille féin). Tá fána c. 120m – *c.*100m sa bhaile fearainn seo idir chamáin.

Rinne aon siolla amháin den chéad eilimint garrán anseo faoi mar a rinne in bf An Garrán (#27968) 2km slí ó dheas uaidh: féach 1838 ‘Grainn na faille’ scríofa i bpeann luaidhe san Ainmleabhar. (Is é 1838 ‘Cnoc na mbó’ faoi bf Cnoc na mBó (#27745) an t-aon leagan Gaeilge eile a breacadh i bpeann luaidhe sa pharóiste seo.)
