Explanatory note

Gaeilge

Ní léir brí.

Féach an mionainm 1655 ‘Rathloran’ < Ráth (an) Lóthráin “the ring-fort of (An) Lóthrán” san fhianaise stairiúil faoi bf Manainn (#27831). Tá an logainm céanna le fáil in bf Lóthrán (#46761) (TÁ 23). Ní léir brí dó, áfach — foirm dhíspeagtha de lóthar “trough, vat”, b’fhéidir (www.dil.ie). Cf. bf An Lóthar (#22220) (Ci 98, 106). Cuir i gcóimheas leis an bhfocal losaid (gin. loiste) “kneading trough” a fhaightear i logainmneacha sa chiall ‘depression’.
