Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    thorny church

    Is deacair leaganacha béarlaithe de cill agus coill a idirdhealú, agus uaireanta ní mór dul i muinín leis an bhfianaise seandálaíochta. Déanann Ó Corragáin tagairt do thaisí daonna a fuarthas nuair a réabadh an lios atá le feiscint in iarthuaisceart an bhaile fearainn ar léarscáil SO 6ʺ, áfach (History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory II 180; cf. an Fardal Seandálaíochta, www.archaeology.ie).

    Tá fuaimniú an dara heilimint in /iː/ le tabhairt faoi deara anseo.
