Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    Ní léir bunús an ainm.

    Is cosúil é le comhfhocal dar céad eilimint dubh-/dú- ach más ea tá an dara heilimint doiléir. Is mór idir na foirmeacha stairiúla seo agus an mionainm Dúdhoire faoi bf Tigh Mochua Thoir (#26094) (CD), m.sh. 1562 ‘Dowegir’, 1622 ‘Dowgirry’, 1624 ‘Dowgerry’, 1692 ‘Doegery’, 1783 ‘Dowghery’, Doogary SO. Ná ní réiteodh na foirmeacha stairiúla anseo go rómhaith le malairt forbairte a tháinig ar dubh + doire i gcásanna eile, e.g. par Dúire (#418) (Cl), bf Dúire (#30236) (Li).

    + oireadh “black tilled land”, b’fhéidir? Cf. bf, par Oireadh (#47500) (), bf Cnoc an Oiridh (#31136) (Lm).
