Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the croft of the rye

    Díol spéise gur aistriúchán díreach í an fhoirm Bhéarla féin [.i. Ashfield] ar mhionainm Gaeilge .i. 1764 ‘Aghanefunshoge’ < Achadh na Fuinseoige. Féach gur géag den Fhuiseog is teora thoir den bhaile fearainn. Is inmheasta gur cuireadh fuinseog “ash-tree” in ionad ainm na habhann. Féach an fhoirm 1567 ‘Stradfinnsshoge’ faoin abhainn féin (#116594).

    Cf. Crochta Ard (#28864)
