SGG 230), ar foirm dhíspeagtha den ainm pearsanta Baldwin í agus ar malairt foirme de Báldún (ibid 227) chomh maith céanna í, ba bhonn le formhór na n-iontrálacha thuas, cés moite díobh san dar foirceann ciorraithe -voda, (1588, 1610, 1612, 1723 agus 1803) agus is dóichí gurb iarracht den mhíchóipeáil ó fhoinse go chéile is cúis le nádúr marthanach an chiorraithe chéanna seo.
