Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of An Crúiseach
    An Crúiseach — ón sloinne de Crúis (< de Cruce)
    Murab ionann is na Lochlannaigh (féach na nótaí faoi BF, B, PO Baile Íomhair agus BF Baile Shitric), d’fhág na hAngla-Normannaigh agus a sliocht a rian go follasach ar logainmneacha na Mí. Is struchtúr an-chomónta sa chontae é an téarma lonnaíochta Angla-Normannach -tún (-town ní ba dhéanaí) á cháiliú le hainm an tionónta fheodaigh. 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: ‘Cruestowne’ (1655), Baile an Chrúisigh Ainmleabhar (1836)
