Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the big thicket; the big oakwood
De ghnáth bíonn doire le fáil mar ainmfhocal firinscneach, ach bíonn samplaí de le fáil in áiteanna mar ainmfhocal baininscneach fosta. Agus munar logthuiseal nó tuiseal tabharthach cailcithe atá á thabhairt le fios i bhfianaise mar Derrywore agus Derra mhore, b'fhéidir go rabhthas ag caitheamh leis an fhocal seo sa chanúint áitiúil mar fhocal baininscneach.
