    land of (the) five men

    Tagann tagairt anuas chugainn ó ré na Meán-Ghaeilge .i. 1100c ‘Becnat ingen Cholmain m . Eda i Cill Becnatan & i Tír Choicir’. Féach Church (in Ruins) SO, Grave Yard SO, nach eol dúinn cén t-ainm a bhí air go stairiúil. (Níl ag Mag Eochagáin ach 1638c ‘capella de Tyrchoger’.) Féach www.dil.ie s.v. cóicer.

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:

    1. An chuid thoir thuaidh de bhaile fearainn an lae inniu, de réir mar is féidir linn a dhéanamh amach, a bhí i gceist le 1549 ‘Kelloge’ CarrMS, 1570 ‘Kellock’ F, 1617 ‘Kelloge, a quarter plowland; occupier, Robert Bath, Gent.; … lieth East from the said town and land of Teirecoger, and meareth north upon the land of the Earle of Kildare [.i. ‘Protestant Land’ DS]’ Inq. 6 Jac. I (Fitzgerald), 1618 ‘Kellock’ CPR 390, 1620 ‘Keilocks’ CPR 474, 1666 ‘Kellocke’ ASE 84, 1695 ‘Killought’ Inq. Lag. < An Chaológ “the narrow strip of land”. D’fhéadfaí an bhrí “riverside field” a chur san áireamh más amhlaidh a ritheadh sruthán ar feadh teorainn chasta thuaidh an bhaile fearainn.
      Díol spéise an fuaimniú /eː/ ar -ao- idir /k/ leathan agus /l/ leathan atá á chur in iúl ag an litriú -e- sa 17ú haois; sa logainm bf An Chaológ (#28833) i Sliabh Mairge faighimid /eː/ in 1297 ‘Kelog’ ach /iː/, is cosúil, in 1563 ‘Killoge’ anuas go 1838 ‘Keelogue’ (agus /iː/ tríd síos i gcás bf An Chaológ (#28788) in Uí Fhairchealláin).
