"Joyce: Lubh-ghort [looart: loovart] “…literally herb-plot: the old form is lub-gort as we find it in the Book of Armagh… It forms part of the name of Knocklohert in the parish of Kilbrin, five miles west of Doneraile in Cork – Cnoc a’lubhghuirt, the hill of the garden; and of Faslowart in Leitrim, near Lough Gill (fás, a wilderness); while in its simplest form it gives name to Lohart…west of Mallow….The diminutive of this compound is, however, in more common use than the original viz. lubh-ghortán [loortaun], which undergoes a great variety of changes in modern names…. The Four Masters mention one place of this name, and used the corrupt form Lughbhurdán; this is now the name of a townland in the parish of Ballintober, Mayo; and it is known by the anglicized name of Luffertaun. There is another townland called Luffertan a little west of Sligo” (Iml. II, 336) "

"Early Irish Farming: “It is clear from the Old Irish law-texts that a prosperous farm often had an enclosed garden (lubgort) near the farmhouse. In Old Irish we do not find a distinction between ‘vegetable’ and ‘herb’: the term lub (luib) includes plants eaten as part of the normal diet, as well as plants used for medicinal or flavouring purposes” (250). F/n: “This compound [lubgort] goes back to the Common Celtic period; cf. the cognates Welsh lluarth, Breton liorz, Cornish lowarth (VKG ii 3). In later Irish, lubgort is generally replaced by garda (garrga), a borrowing from Old Norse garðr” (368). DIL: Fás: 1) vacant, deserted, uninhabited waste 2) growing, growth Lubgort: Herb-garden "
