Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
the white corner, nook
Tá cuid den bhaile fearainn seo i bparóiste Ráth Domhnaigh (#28021). Murab ionann is samplaí áirithe eile den fhocal fionn sa cheantar seo (m.sh. 1631 ‘Knockfane’ faoi bf An Cnoc Fionn (#28058)), dhealródh sé gur -i- /i/ an guta a bhí anseo: féach 1838 ‘Cul fín’ (ní léir an fadú nó béim atá á chur in úil leis an marc os cionn an -i- anseo). Más ea, b’fhéidir nár cheart Cúil Fhinn “the corner, nook of Fionn (ainm pearsanta)” a chur as an áireamh ar fad anseo, cé go mbeifí ag súil le réadú níos láidre de -inn sna foirmeacha béarlaithe (m.sh. -ing).
Cf. bf Fiarach Fionn (#27868).
