the wood of the court
1666 ‘[Kilne-Courts … Clowneighter, Clownoughter alias] Courtwood’ ASE 84 an chéad tagairt don aistriúchán Béarla. Tá roinnt aistriúcháin agus ainmneacha Béarla nuachumtha san fhoinse céanna, cuid acu níos cruinne agus níos buaine ná a chéile.
Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
- Pullock House SO < An Pollach (?) “the place of holes”, mionainm atá comónta anseo timpeall.
Ainmneacha stairiúla:
- Is in iardheisceart an bhaile fearainn mhóir seo, de réir dealraimh, a bhí 1549 ‘Kyneskirbrane’ CarrMS, 1563 ‘great Kinestone, little Kinestone’, 1570 ‘great Kynester, little Kynester’ F , 1617 ‘Kineskeragh magna al’ Kineskeraghmore, Kineskeraghbegg’, ‘Kineskeragh’ Inq. Lag., 1618 ‘Kinester magna, Kilnester parva’ CPR 390, 1637 ‘Kynestraghmore & Kynestraghbegg’ Inq. Lag., 1666 ‘Kinester-Magna, Kinester-Parva’ ASE 84, 1695 ‘Killnester “great & small”’ Inq. Lag. < Cionn Easra (??) “head(land) of (the) sprinkling, strewing”. Ní thagann an t-aicmitheoir cionn/ceann “head(land)” i gceist in aon logainm eile sa chontae, áfach, agus ní léir aon suíomh oiriúnach dá leithéid anseo.
- Bhí logainm stairiúil eile le fáil sa chomharsanacht nach raibh ró-éagsúil leis an gceann deiridh sin, agus is cosúil gur tháinig litriú an dá ainm i bhfeidhm ar a chéile i bhfoinsí áirithe. Thagair an dara ceann seo don chuid thuaidh de bf Kilnacourt agus, is cosúil, don stráice theas de bhaile fearainn bf Fisherstown an lae inniu: 1570 ‘Kyllesteraghmore, Kyllesteraghbege’ F, 1617 ‘Kileteragh’ Inq., 1618 ‘Killeskeraghmore, Killeskeraghbeg’ CPR 390, 1666 ‘Killeskeraghmore, Killeskeraghbegg’ ASE 84, 1695 ‘Killeskeraghmore, Killeskeraghbeg al’ Graigneskeory’ Inq. < Coill Eiscreach (?) “wood of (the) esker”. Féach an paiste mór de thalamh aol-ghairbhéalach díreach laistiar den chrosbhóthar in bf Fisherstown (www.epa.ie) a bhí san áireamh i dtuaisceart 1655 ‘Lower Kilnecourte’ DS. Níl an t-ionannú le bf Gráig an Eiscire (#28654) in ionchoisne 1695 cruinn.
- 1567 ‘Clone’ Inq., 1570 ‘Cloneighter, Clonoughter’ F, 1618 ‘Cloneighter, Clonowghter’ CPR 390, 1666 ‘Cilne-Courts alias Clowneighter, Clownoughter alias Courtwood’ ASE 84, 1695 ‘Silnecourt al’ Clownighter’ Inq. Lag. < Cluain Uachtair/Íochtair “upper/lower pasture”.
- Is anseo timpeall, is cosúil, a bhí 1560c ‘Caill Mhóir’ LBran., 1563c ‘The great Wood’ < An Choill Mhór.
