Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the esker

    Féach ‘Basic esker sands and gravels’ sna hiomairí in iarthar agus in oirthear an bhaile fearainn (www.epa.ie). Tá alt na Gaeilge le sonrú sna tagairtí 1549 ‘Inneskir-’ agus 1557 ‘Inysker’, rud is annamh i bhfoirmeacha béarlaithe.

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:
    Cuireann roinnt iontrálacha ó 1549 go 1638 logainm eile in úil, nach léir a bhunús. Is cosúil nach bhfuil baint aige le hainm an bhaile fearainn teorantaigh Cúil na Baice (#28111).
