Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
the white corner, nook
Cf. 1619 ‘Fyraghfin otherwise Whitelayes’ faoi bf Fiarach Fionn (#27868).
D’fhéadfadh sé leis gur Cúil Fhinn “the corner, nook of Fionn (ainm pearsanta)” atá anseo. Ní féidir cáilíocht an chonsain deiridh a dhéanamh amach ar na foirmeacha béarlaithe.
Cf. bf An Chúil Fhionn, par. Bhordaíle (#27915).
