Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the heights

Measaimid gur ag tagairt do na haonaid seachas na harda féin atá na cáilitheoirí mór agus beag anseo. Dá bharr sin moltar Na hArda Mór agus Na hArda Beag seachas Na hArda Móra agus Na hArda Beaga. (JÓG 09 Meitheamh 2025)
English

the heights

It seems likely that the qualifying elements mór and beag refer to the size of the land units, rather than the actual heights here. For that reason Na hArda Mór and Na hArda Beag are recommended rather than Na hArda Móra and Na hArda Beaga. (JÓG 09 June 2025)
