Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of —

    Sloinne nó ainm pearsanta Angla-Normannach atá sa cháilitheoir anseo, is dócha, ach ní léir a bhunús. Ní heol dúinn aon sampla eile de Rider, Ryder an Bhéarla á ghaelú le /iː/ nó le /iə/ sa chéad siolla mar seo (is é Ridire an gaelú coitianta air). D’fhéadfaí an sloinne Reader (< le Redere “thatcher”) a chur san áireamh.

    Tá cosúlacht ag iontráil 1549 ‘Belared’ le béal átha “ford-approach” — cf. Stepping Stones SO 6ʺ i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn — ach ní thagann aon fhoirm eile leis sin.

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:

    1. Is dócha gur Leamhchoill “elm-wood” an t-ainm atá le feiscint in 1549 ‘Liaghill’, 1563 ‘Loughill’, 1631 ‘Lawghill’, srl.
    2. Ní léir cad dó a thagraíonn 1549 ‘Oiskegall’, ‘Oyskegall’ < Uisce Geal “white water” (?).
