Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the ring-fort of Ó Faoláin
Ó Faoláin — sloinne atá luaite le tuaisceart Osraí

Cé go raibh an fhoirm mhalartach Ó hAoláin coitianta in Uíbh Fhailí agus Laois (Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall 557), féach go bhfuil a lán samplaí den litriú ‘O Phelan’, et var., le fáil sa cheantar seo i gcáipéisí Sasanacha de chuid an 16ú haois.

Ní féidir moladh an Donnabhánaigh Ráth F(h)aoláin “the ring-fort of Faolán [ainm pearsanta]” a chur as an áireamh ach oiread.
