Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    wood of (the) chaff?
    the wood of Luachán?

    Tá an logainm seo an-éiginnte. Má tá an fhoirm thuas cruinn ní léir cé acu an t-ainmfhocal luachán (= lóchán) “chaff, refuse” nó an t-ainm pearsanta Luachán atá sa cháilitheoir (cf. 1100c ‘Epscop Lughdach Ligach ... Cluain Aithchin’ i Laois?).

    D’fhéadfaí é a chur i gcomparáid leis an ainm stairiúil 1282–83 ‘Karriclothan’, ‘Kariclochan’ (Inq. PM 2, CDI) < Carraig Luacháin (?) a thagair do bhaile fearainn mór i mainéar Dhún Másc.
