Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    pasture of (the) little homestead?

    Tá bunús an dara heilimint éiginnte. Tagann na foirmeacha luatha salach ar a chéile ach is cosúil gur chríochnaigh an bunainm in -n. Forbairt choitianta is ea -n > -m i siolla deiridh neamhaiceanta i logainmneacha béarlaithe. Níl aon fhianaise soiléir ar ghuta fada sa siolla deiridh ach measaimid go bhféadfadh sé gur maighneán, foirm dhíspeagtha de maighean “homestead”, atá sa cháilitheoir anseo.

    Cf. bf Lios Maighneáin (#47646) ( 62).
