- Gaeilge
(the) wood of the grey/green ford
Tá an fhianaise gann agus déanach go leor agus tá bunús an logainm doiléir dá bharr.
D’fhéadfaí neart logainmneacha Gaeilge a thuairimiú a thabharfadh na leaganacha béarlaithe 1666 ‘Killiglish’, 1738 ‘Killeglish’, 1948 ‘Kyle a glush’. Cuir i gcás *Coill na Glaise “the wood of the stream; the wood of the grey cow” le cailliúint an ghuta dheiridh agus le comhshamhlú /-ln-/ go /-l-/; *Coill Átha Glais “wood of (the) green ford” nó *Coill Dhá Ghlais(e) “wood of two streams” le lagú an dara heilimint gan bhéim; *Coill Mhic Glais “the wood of Mac Glais (ainm pearsanta)” le cailliúint mh-. Foráis iad seo go léir atá an-choitianta sa phróiseas béarlaithe. Féach go háirithe cailliúint an ghuta dheiridh in 1660c ‘Ballaghglashy’, 1838 ‘Ballyglass’ < bf Bealach Glaise (#28771) i gClann Donncha (cf. bf Coill Mhaí Glaise (#3500) i gCeatharlach; bf Oileán na Glaise (#34696) i Maigh Eo; bf Tobar na Glaise (#45471) i Sligeach).
Ach bunaithe ar an bhfianaise mar a thagann anuas chugainn b’fhéidir gur fearr Coill Átha Glais (?) “(the) wood of the grey/green ford”.
