Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the wood of the pigs

Tá an fhianaise stairiúil an-ghann. Is féidir cill “church” a chur as an áireamh, mar níl aon iarsmaí eaglasta sa bhaile fearainn beag seo (99 acra); féach leis Killamuck Wood SO i bhfíordheisceart an bhaile fearainn teorantaigh bf Diméin Mhainistir Laoise (#27730).

Níl aon rian de /n/ an ailt sna foirmeacha béarlaithe a thagann anuas chugainn. Ach tá samplaí eile againn de /-lə-/ a dhéanamh den charn /-lnə-/ i logainmneacha ina dtagann -(l)l roimh an alt na, e.g. 1654 ‘Coulenemayne’, 1840 ‘Coolamain’ < Cúil na Maighean (LG) (#52396). Is forbairt choitianta í -(l)ln- > -ll- sa Ghaeilge (e.g. olna > olla (gin. < olann)).
