Explanatory note

Gaeilge

Is cosúil gur leagan substainteach den aidiacht súileach “eyed, oculate; eye-like” (FGB) atá anseo. Ritheann an sruthán Swilly Burn ar feadh teorann theas an bhaile fearainn, agus d’fhéadfaí a mheas gurb é *An tSúiligh ainm an tsrutháin sin agus gur uaidh sin a tháinig ainm an bhaile fearainn. Ní féidir a bheith cinnte de seo áfach, agus dá bharr moltar Súiligh, gan an t-alt, mar réiteach fuaime. (JÓG, 25 Aibreán 2025)
