Explanatory note

    the green lake?

    Tá lochán beag bídeach i lár an bhaile fearainn ach d’fhéadfadh sé go bhfuair an áit seo ainm ón bpoll uisce ar an sruthán ar an teorainn thiar. Féach an paiste de thalamh ghlárach léirithe lámh leis sin ar léarscáil www.epa.ie (mar a bhfuil Spring SO 25ʺ).

    Tá **loch** firinscneach i bhformhór na logainmneacha iomadúla ina bhfuil sé le fáil, e.g. *bf* **Baile an Locha** (#27778) i gCuileannach. Níl ach céatadán beag díobh ina bhfuil an focal baininscneach, mar atá *bf* **Baile na Loiche** (#49757), *bf* **Cnoc na Loiche** (#49996) i bPort Láirge; *bf* **Cruach na Locha** (#16398) agus *bbf* (**An**) **Loch Fhada** (x6) i dTír Chonaill; *bf* **Corr na Locha** (#39736) i Muineachán; *bf* **Loch Chaoin** (#5108) sa Chabháin; *bbf* (**An**) **Loch Fhada** (x8) i nGaillimh.
