Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of Rís
    Rís — sloinne (< Rhys na Breatnaise)
    Is struchtúr an-chomónta i gCo. na Mí é an téarma lonnaíochta Angla-Normannach -tún (-town ní ba dhéanaí) á cháiliú le hainm pearsanta nó le sloinne. Is é an focal Gaeilge a fhreagraíonn do -town i logainmeacha den chineál sin ná baile, agus rinneadh roinnt mhaith de na logainmneacha Béarla seo a ghaelú ar an múnla baile +* *ainm. Féach na tagairtí stairiúla seo a leanas: ‘Riestowne’ (1655), Bailís Ainmleabhar, scríofa le peann luaidhe (1836) [< Bail’ Lís < Baile Rís, comhshamhlú -lr- > -ll-]
