Explanatory note

Gaeilge

Baineann na samplaí is sine den logainm seo, i.e. ‘Frithfare’, ‘Frythfare’, leis an 14ú haois. Dealraíonn sé gur i dtreo thosach an 16ú haois a d’athraigh an -r- go dtí -n- i ndeireadh an ainm: ‘Fraffan’, ‘Freffand’, ‘Frefayre’, ‘Frefayer’. Cuireadh -s mar fhoirceann leis an ainm sa 17ú haois, e.g. ‘Frefans’, ‘Freffans’. Uimhir iolra an Bhéarla atá san -s sin. Is amhlaidh a roinneadh an t-aonad talún agus faightear ‘Great and Little Freffans’ sa Civil Survey. Is cosúil gur comhfhocal Béarla atá ann, as frith- a chiallaigh ‘fearann coille’ agus -fare a chiallaigh ‘bóthar’, ‘áth’ nó ‘bealach’
