hillside?
Eilimintí atá comónta i logainmneacha agus atá an-chosúil lena chéile is ea leac “flag(stone)” agus leaca (leacain sa tuiseal tabharthach/logthuiseal) “hillside”, agus roinnt mhaith focail atá fréamhaithe uathu.
Faightear leacach (tabh./log. leacaigh), mar aidiacht shubstainteach bunaithe ar leac “flag(stone)”: cuir i gcás an cnoc carraigeach darb ainm bf Leacach ní fada ó bhaile i dTiobraid Árann (TÁ 8) (#45918) (féach www.epa.ie). Féach, áfach, nach bhfuil aon rian de thalamh charraigeach ar an mbaile fearainn seo Lackey; thairis sin, tá sé suite ar leirg íochtarach Shliabh Bladhma (féach www.osi.ie, www.epa.ie). Is é is dóichí ná gur foirm den fhocal eile úd leaca “hillside” atá mar bhunús don ainm seo.
Cf. bf Leacach (#28521).
