Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the river meadow
giorrúchán < Srath an Arbha “the river meadow of the corn”

Is deacair srath “river-meadow” a aithint ar sraith “swathe” i logainmneacha uaireanta (féach Ó Crualaoich, Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV s.n. Ballinastraw) agus go deimhin is cosúil go raibh meascán idir an dá théarma in áiteanna. Achar mór talún (beagnach 2000 acra) atá clúdaithe ag an trí bhaile fearainn darb ainm Béarla Srah, Srahleagh agus Srahbaun, ar dhá thaobh den sruthán a léirítear ar léarscáileanna ag rith trí lár bf Srahleagh (SO 6ʺ, 25ʺ). B’fhéidir gur dóichí mar sin gurb í an eilimint chéanna atá i dtosach gach ainm díobh .i. srath “river meadow”.

Féach leis an fuaimniú áitiúil in -th leathan sa logainm seo (.i. -ch /x/ sa chanúint; féach nóta Uí Dhonnabháin).
