    the bog(land) of the son of Nua
    Nua (< Nuadha) — ainm pearsanta

    Talamh portaigh ar Shliabh Bladhma — féach ‘Blanket Peat’ anseo lastuaidh agus ‘Peaty Gleys’ laisteas (www.epa.ie). Tá an t-ainm pearsanta céanna le fáil in bf, par Díseart Nuan (RC 10) (féach 1570 ‘Isernowe’) (#2070).

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
    Maidir le Barna SO, ainm ar phointe triantánachta i dtuaisceart an bhaile fearainn seo, is cosúil go dtagann sé ón logainm stairiúil 1621 ‘Bearnacormaine’ < Bearna Chorr Mheáin (?) “gap of (the) middle round hill (?)” atá le fáil sa chur síos ar theorainneacha Osraí in Inq. Lag. 19 Jac. I. Ach is dealraitheach gur thagair an t-ainm úd don mám darb ainm Béarla The Cut an chéad lá (cf. An Barr Riabhach (#28354)).
