Explanatory note

Gaeilge
the town of Ó Liatháin?
Ó Liatháin — sloinne

Ní féidir a bheith cinnte gurb é Ó Liatháin atá sa cháilitheoir anseo. Cuireadh an t-ainm pearsanta Sean-Ghaeilge Lígán (litriú Clasaiceach * Líoghán) san áireamh chomh maith (ainm atá le fáil i measc na nOsraíoch in CGH 138a28). Cf. bf Ros Liatháin (#28331) i bPort Laoise Thoir.

Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
1. Tá fo-bhaile i mBaile Uí Liatháin Uachtarach darb ainm Madubeagh SO (‘Madda[be]hagh’ AL) < Maide Bheitheach (?) “(crossing-)stick of birches”; cf. Stepping Stones SO trasna an tsrutháin ag an bpointe seo, b’fhéidir.
2. Léirítear Curraghs SO sa talamh fhliuch cois an tsrutháin chéanna tamaillín lastoir de seo < currach “wet land” (cf. an mionainm c.1960 /ðə ˈkoɾoxs/ ‘The Curraghs’ faoi bf Log an Churraigh (#1413860).
3. I ndeisceart Bhaile Uí Liatháin Íochtarach léirítear fo-bhaile eile, Glasna SO (1937 ‘Glasna’ Bailiúchán na Scol, 2017 /glɔsnə/ Fuaimniú Áitiúil) (#1418505). Tá bunús an ainm seo doiléir; d’fhéadfaí glaisne (?) “place of woad” a chur san áireamh, b’fhéidir (cf. www.dil.ie s.v. glasen ‘also gla(i)sín and glaisine’).
4. Ó thuaidh uaidh sin tá Toberternog SO nach léir a bhunús (tornóg “kiln”, b’fhéidir — cf. 1838 ‘Tober Tornog’ san Ainmleabhar).
