    the town of the heath

    Níl faic idir foirmeacha béarlaithe an rí “of the king” agus an fhraoigh “of the heather” i logainmneacha. Glactar leis de ghnáth gur fraoch is bun le hainmneacha den sórt seo muna bhfuil fianaise shoiléir ar a mhalairt (cf. Ó Crualaoich, Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV s.n. Ballinree (LG)).
