Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the corner, nook of the red tree-stump

    Is cosúil gur de thoradh an chéad eilimint a bheith gan bhéim a tharla an fhorbairt go Kyle-. Cé nach féidir a rá go cinnte, is féidir a thuairimiú go ndearnadh an eilimint seo a atuiscint mar coill sa Ghaeilge féin (cúil > * cuil /ku(i)l/ gan bhéim > coill /k(ɤ)il/ — éascaithe ag /i/ sa dara mír chip) agus gur béarlú air sin atá i Kyle-, seachas forbairt éigin a imirt ar an ainm tar éis dó a bheith béarlaithe. Tá bearna mhór san fhianaise tar éis 1660c ‘Cullkipproe’, áfach.
