    Féach Derrycarrow Bridge SO trasna an tsrutháin in oirthear an bhaile fearainn. Bhí fuaim -ch /x/ le -th leathan deiridh i bhfocail aonsiollacha i nGaeilge Osraí. Gné canúna é seo a bhain leis an gcuid is mó de shean-Chúige Laighean (tá iarsmaí de le sonrú i logainmneacha i CC, Ce, LG agus i gcuid de CM agus CD) agus gan amhras le hoirthear na Mumhan agus le Contae an Chláir (féach Logainmneacha na hÉireann II 152 s.n.
