Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    rough land

    Gné de chanúintí an oirdheisceart ab ea -bh/-mh leathan deiridh a bheith báite i ndiaidh consain leachtaigh, ar nós 1838 ‘garbh (rough) pronounced gara’ LSO I 1 (cf. Irish Dialects 77). Is dócha gur cailleadh -bh- tar éis -r- i lár an logainm seo — i gceantair eile bheifí ag súil le guta fada /uː/ a theacht ina áit, ach is cosúil go raibh sé balbh ar fad anseo.

    Cf. bf Garbhach (#28897).
