Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the tillage-plot of the tooth

    Féach bf Cill Fhiacla (#28210) i Ráth Easpaig. Cf. bf Cill Fhiacal (#48836) () pléite ag Ó Cearbhaill in Logainmneacha na hÉireann II 138.

    D’fhéadfadh sé gur foirm chalctha den tuiseal tabharthach nó logthuiseal a bhí sa chéad eilimint .i. ceapaigh — toisc nach bhfuil an chéad fhocal faoi bhéim an ghutha, ba dheacair ceapach agus ceapaigh a aithint óna cheile. Cf. bf Ceapach na hEorna (#27806).

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:

    1. B’fhéidir go dtagann an t-ainm tí Rathhurley SO 25ʺ ón imfhálú atá suite lastoir de (www.archaeology.ie). Más ea, b’fhéidir gurb é Lugatonagh SO (féach #28145) an gné a thug ainm don ráth seo féin < Ráth T(h)urlaigh (?) “the ring-fort of the turlough, winter lake”. D’fhéadfaí Rath Thoirealaigh “the ring-fort of Toirealach (< Toirrdhealbhach, ainm pearsanta)” a chur san áireamh freisin.
