Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
snout of (the) cow(s)
Tá na tagairtí luatha Gaeilge 1160c ‘Srúb Bó’, ‘Co toracht Srúib Bó i n-iarthur Maige Reichet’ sa Dinnseanchas (Leabhar Laighean) an-luachmhar, mar ina n-éagmais siúd bheadh srath “river-meadow” le tuiscint as tromlach na fianaise béarlaithe. Tá samplaí eile den mhír seo srúbh “snout” le fáil i gCiarraí (#22056) agus i nGaillimh (#20946).
Mionainmneacha ar an léarscáil:
Ní léir cad is bun le hainm an tobair Darkin Well SO ar imeall an phortaigh i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn; leathaistriúchán ar Tobar Dearcan (?) “well of (the) acorn(s)” b’fhéidir? Ná ní léir an é seo an tobar atá i gceist ag Coote le ‘At Straboe, are also the ruins of a church, and a famous well’ (Statistical Survey 137). Tá cur síos ar an seanteampall san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie).
