Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
the town of the bracken
Tá caomhnú an -th- /h/ láir i bhfoirmeacha an 16ú agus an 17ú haois le tabhairt faoi deara, mar tá sé le sonrú ar logainmneacha eile sa chontae gur cailleadh an foghar seo idir ghutaí gairide fad a bhí Gaeilge á labhairt sa cheantar (m.sh. #28323, #1417562). Is dócha gur athrú fuaime déanach sa Bhéarla is cúis le 2006 /baliˑˈraːn/ sa chás seo.
