Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    soft (river-)mouth?

    Is cosúil gurb é an focal méin “mouth; opening in a coast” (www.dil.ie s.v. mén) atá sa chéad eilimint (cuir i gcomparáid é leis an bhfianaise stairiúil faoi bf An Mhaighean (#27963)). Más ea níl a bhrí anseo róshoiléir. Féach go bhfuil Abhainn na Gabhla (#116596) ar theorainn thoir agus theas an bhaile fearainn agus go bhfuil an talamh íseal glárach fliuch (www.epa.ie). Cf. an míniú ‘… of the gorge’ faoi bf Cuar na Méine (Ci) (#22362) in Toponomia Hiberniae I 12.
