Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    town of —

    Ní léir bunús an dara heilimint anseo. Díorthú ó bachall “staff”, b’fhéidir, ar nós bachlach “servant, churl” (féach www.dil.ie)? Nó d’fhéadfadh sé gur ainm pearsanta nó leasainm atá ann (cf. ‘Bawghlin O’Brean’ in Duanaire Osraíoch 139–40, a gcuireann an fear eagair ‘Báthlaichín’ mar chaighdeánú air).

    Is léir nach ionann foirm don cháilitheoir anseo is don cháilitheoir in bf Cúil an Bhuachaláin (#28398) i dtuaisceart an chontae.

    Cf. bf An Láithreach/Middlemount (#27993).
