Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the oak-wood of Conasach?
    Ní léir cad atá sa dara heilimint; ainm pearsanta, is cosúil. Cf. an focal conasach, 'cantalach, trodach', i nGaeilge na hAlban.

  • English

    the oak-wood of Conasach?
    It is unclear what the second element represents; it appears to be a personal name. Cf. the Scottish Gaelic word conasach, 'quarrelsome, bad-tempered'.
