Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
the (oak-)wood of the craftsmen
saortha — malairt foirme iolra < saor (ainmfhocal)Is cosúil gur tháinig athrú ar an eilimint deiridh anseo ó fhocal aonsiollach i dtosach an 17ú haois (m.sh. 1601 ‘Dyrreneshyre’, 1624 ‘Dirrinisier’) go dtí focal déshiollach ó lár na haoise sin amach (m.sh. 1655 ‘Dirrimseery’, 1838 ‘Dernaseeragh’). Má tá na foirmeacha luatha cruinn (agus d’fhéadfadh sé nach bhfuil ann ach nár thug an litriú Béarla an guta deiridh leis) is é is dóichí ná gur dhá fhoirm ghinideach iolra den aon fhocal amháin saor atá sa cháilitheoir .i. na saor = na saortha “of the craftsmen” (FGB). Tá an fhorbairt chéanna le feiscint san fhianaise stairiúil don seanainm a bhí ar bf An tAbhallort Uachtarach (#27986) i lár an chontae, m.sh. 1540 ‘Balenesere’, 1606 ‘Ballynesery’ < Baile na Saor/na Saortha.
Díol spéise fuaimniú /iː/ sa cháilitheoir anseo san fhianaise is sine, murab ionann is samplaí eile den fhocal saor in iardheisceart an chontae a thugann an fhorbairt /eː/ > /iː/ le fios (m.sh. bf Cill na Saor (#28057)). Cf. bf An Chaológ Thuaidh (#28585).
