Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of the ring-fort of Baoithín
    Baoithín — ainm pearsanta
    Is cosúil go ndeachaigh ainm abhainn na Bóinne i bhfeidhm ar na leaganacha Béarlaithe ‘Rathboythyn’ (1419), ‘Rathboyne Parrish’ Civil Survey (1654) (faoi mar a chuaigh ar ainm BAR, PAR, BF Dunboyne / Dún Búinne, q.v.): ‘It is called by the Irish Baile Ráith Baoithin …, but pronounced according to their dialect as if written Bal Ráith Baoithin …’ Litreacha na Suirbhéireachta Ordanáis, Co. na Mí. Díol suime an fhoirm áitiúil Ghaeilge den logainm deireanach a bhailigh Seán Ó Donnabháin agus é i mbun oibre sa chontae sa bhliain 1836, mar go dtugann sé le fios go raibh leagan giorraithe den fhocal baile in úsáid ag cainteoirí Gaeilge an tráth úd. Pléann Éamonn de hÓir ainmneacha eile a bhfuil Bal- in ionad Bally- iontu sa leagan Béarla ag freagairt don eilimint Baile (a bhfuil a bhformhór le fáil i dtuaisceart chúige Laighean) in alt leis faoin logainm Baile Dúill in Dinnseanchas 3, 80–1 (1969)
