Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the big garden

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
    Léirítear Cooling SO ar imeall an phortaigh in oirthear an bhaile fearainn. Is cosúil gur cúil “corner, nook” atá san aicmitheoir anseo, faoi mar atá in bf Cúil Uí Mhóráin (#28468) lámh leis, ach níl an cáilitheoir soiléir. D’fhéadfaí Cúil Fhinn (?) “the corner, nook of Fionn (ainm pearsanta)” a mheas ach níor ghnách -nn caol na Gaeilge a bhéarlú le -ng sa bharúntacht seo: cf. bf Sraith Chuilinn (#28681) i bparóiste Raoire Mór; agus cf. bf An Rinn (#28644) i bparóiste Ros Fhionnghlaise. Cúil Loinge “corner, nook of (the) swallow-hole”, b’fhéidir, más ea? (Féach FGB s.v. long2 agus cf. bf Cois Loinge (#41691) sa phortach i gContae Uíbh Fhailí.)
