Glossary

English corner, nook

Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    corner, nook of (the) rough field?
    garbhach < garbh + achadh?

    Is é is dóichí ná go gcuireann an -gh- sa litriú béarlaithe 1571 ‘Curgaraghe’ /x/ in úil (.i. ch na Gaeilge). B’ait guta deiridh a bheith litrithe mar -agh(e) in ortagrafaíocht an Bhéarla chomh luath sin. Níor cheart An Chúil Gharbh “the rough corner, nook” a chur as an áireamh, áfach. Dhéanfaí guta /ə/ de -bh leathan sa chanúint tar éis /r/.

    Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
    Is í an Guilic River SO (1838 ‘Guilick’, ‘Goylick’ san Ainmleabhar) < An Ghaibhleog (?) “the forked stream” is teora thoir agus thuaidh don bhaile fearainn; sníonn sí soir ó dheas go dtiteann isteach sa Bhearú ag bf An Ghráinseach (#28170). Cf. bf An Gaibhlín (#28263) i dTigh Maodhóg.
