Explanatory note

Gaeilge

old hollow?

Ní cinnte bunús an logainm; is deacair aon log suntasach a dhéanamh amach anseo. Cf. www.dil.ie s.vv. cúa, cuäch, 1 cúach. Cf. bf Cluain Cuach (#28075), bf Cluainte Cuaich (#27792).

Más fíor gur comhfhocal é seo dar céadeilimint sean- “old”, is díol spéise an guta cúnta, ós gné canúna é seo a bhaineann leis an deisceart. Cf. bf An Seanbharr (#28340).

Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
Níl aon chlais shuntasach le sonrú in iardheisceart an bhaile fearainn mar a léirítear Clash SO (cf. 1838 ‘portion in the south west angle called “Closh”’). Ach féach go bhfuil paiste beag de thalamh fhliuch ghléireach anseo — d’fhéadfadh sé gur rian é seo de sheanshruthán agus gur glais(e) “stream” a bhí san ainm ó cheart. Cf. bf Glais na Muc (#27822).
