the stream
giorrúchán < Glaise Bhearú (??) “stream of the Bearú (ainm mórabhann)”Ní cinnte bunús don cháilitheoir atá le feiscint sna foirmeacha stairiúla 1550 ‘-marrow’, 1654 ‘-marragh’, ‘-marra’, 1657 ‘Glashævaragh’. Féach, áfach, gur géag den Bhearú í an ghlaise seo. Is minic a d’fhágtaí claochluithe tosaigh Gaeilge ar lár sa bhéarlú — toisc gan aon difríocht fhóinéimeach a bheith idir bh- caol agus mh- caol faoin tréimhse seo (.i. /v′/), caolseans gurb é ainm na habhann móire atá sa dara mír agus gur forcheartú atá sna foirmeacha seo in m- ar bh- caol na Gaeilge.
