Rinagh
Rinagh is easily formed from Kill Rignaighe by rejecting Kill,signifying church and restoring Rignaighe (Riognaighe) the name of the Saint, to its nominative state, viz. Rignach, the g being in the meantime aspirated into gh, which has the sound of y, was expunged finally in every shape of sound as the long sound of i suffrees in the English pronunciation of the name.There is a Parish called Killriny in the County of Kildare, which would agree in orthography with the Killrignaighe here mentioned.But Killriny in Kildare could not be Kill Righaighe,as the former was in the Diocese of Kildare and the latter was in the Diocese of Clonmacnoise, according to Colgan in Note 25 above cited.
