Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of Mílis
    Mílis — ainm pearsanta (< Miles na Sean-Fhraincise)
    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: ‘Mylestown’ (1540), Baile Mhílis Ainmleabhar, scríofa le peann luaidhe (1836); féach ‘Ó Raghallaigh Bhaile Mhíleis’ le hUilliam Ó Maoil Chiaráin (1700c – 1766), Amhráin na Midhe 25: ‘A éin bhig atá éadrom ná géill do shléibhtibh nó do mhíonlaibh / Fá dhein Bheartamoin na féile agus Uí Raghallaigh Bhaile Mhílis’
