Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    deep glen

    Tá fána rite ar dhá thaobh an ghleanna.

    Tabhair faoi deara go ndearnadh /ŋ/ den /n/ deiridh in 1838 ‘Glen doy-ing’; tá an fuaimniú céanna le fáil i nGaeilge na nDéise: féach ‘/dəɪŋʹ/ doimhinn < domhain’, The Irish of Ring §115.

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:
    Bearna Ghleann Doimhin “the gap of Gleann Doimhin” an t-ainm a bhí ar an mbealach sléibhe seo taobh thuaidh d’Ard Éireann, ag dul isteach i mbarúntacht na Coille Uachtaraí ó bharúntacht Bhaile an Bhriotaigh in Uíbh Fhailí (.i. Éile Uí Chearúill). Féach 1621 ‘Bearnagleamdoyne’ faoi bf Gleann Doimhin (#41928) (UF), Glendine Gap SO 6ʺ.

    Is í an fhoirm stairiúil seo a thugann orainn gan an t-alt a úsáid in ainm oifigiúil an bhaile fearainn (murab ionann is bf An Gleann Doimhin (#28408) i dTigh na hInse).
