Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    round hill

    Díol spéise an fhoirm áitiúil a bhailigh an Corragánach .i. 1905 ‘Fur-wael .i. For-mhaol’. Níl aon rian den -m- séimh /w/ seo san fhianaise stairiúil anseo ná sna solaoidí eile den logainm céanna ar fud na tíre (Ci, Cl, Do, FM, Ga, Li, Lo, ME, Mu, RC, Sl).

    Tá cupla sampla den fhoirm fhada Formaol na bhFiann (History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory II 109) in Onom. Goed. 428 agus iad ag tagairt d’áiteanna eile darb ainm Formael. Pléann FitzPatrick suíomh na logainmneacha seo go léir in 'Formaoil na Fiann: Hunting Preserves and Assembly Places in Gaelic Ireland' in Proc. Harvard Celtic Colloquium 32 (2012) 95–118.
