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).
