Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the wood of the wickerwork crossing

    Is cosúil gurb é an trasnú thar an Trióg, atá léirithe mar Footstick SO 6ʺ le seanchosáin chuige ón dá threo, atá faoi thagairt sa logainm.

    In ainneoin fhuaimniú an lae inniu in sh /ʃ/ deiridh, thabharfadh na foirmeacha luatha béarlaithe gur ceasach in s-leathan /s/ an fhoirm stairiúil. Is féidir le hortagrafaíocht an Bhéalra a bheith ábhairín débhríoch ar an gceist seo, ach cf. bf Ard na Ceasach (#33289) sa Longfort, bf Corr na Ceasach (#40842) i Muineachán; féach leis www.dil.ie s.v. 2 ces (d).

    The Rock an t-ainm a úsáideann muintir na háite air sa lá atá inniu ann (cf. bf Cill Mhaighneann (#28666)).

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:

    1. 1805 ‘Ardri’ Cahill, 1838 ‘a hill called Ardra’ LSO II 192, 1841 Ardoage SO 6ʺ, 1907c Ardara SO 25ʺ < Ard-doire (?) “high (oak-)wood”.
