Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    corner, nook of (the) little (cultivated) field, animal-enclosure?

    Réitíonn 1549 ‘-tworin’, 1576 ‘-twerin’ le tuairín. Tagann na foirmeacha déanacha leis freisin, e.g. 1669 ‘ torin’, mar is minic -o- mar réadú ar -ua(i)- na Gaeilge i leaganacha béarlaithe.

    Ní fhéadfaí torn (= sorn) “furnace”, le guta cúnta sa charn /-rn-/, a chur as an áireamh. Agus toisc go bhfuil an baile fearainn seo suite díreach laisteas den chnoc coigríche Cnocán na gCruach (#28327) d’fhéadfaí teorann (gin. < teorainn) “of the boundary” a mheas chomh maith (cf. an litriú sa mhionainm 1608 ‘passage or pace … called Ballaghnetorine’ < Bealach na Teorann “the way, pass of the boundary” faoi bf Baile Uí Chearúill (#28298); cf. bf Cúil Chríche (#28491)).

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
