Agus a rá nár thángthas ar bhuntagairt na foirme Ballymistine (AL: Dep.), níorbh fhéidir a dheimhniú gur don áit seo a thagraíonn sí. In ainneoin gur buan don -v- sa bhfianaise thuas, ní hannamh a tagtar ar -v- agus/nó -w- roimh ghuta, m.sh.: (i) Ballyveelick < Baile Uilleac (N 55.9); (ii) an sloinne Vachan, Vaghan < Uachan (SGG 680); (iii) Kilworth < Cill Uird (I 172), rud a d’fhágfadh go mb’fhéidir gurb é an t-ainm pearsanta Normannach Oistín (SGG 195, -6) nó an t-ainm pearsanta Uistín (Log. na hÉir. 1 66, s.n. Ballysteen < Baile Uistín) nó a leithéid, ba bhonn leis an dtarna heilimint.
