the ridge of the birch
Díol spéise cailliúint -th- chaoil idirghutaigh /h/ anseo, faoin tráth ar breacadh 1708 ‘Drumnabeigh’, is cosúil. Is é 1838 ‘Drimnabuy’, foirm a bhreac na saighdiúirí de chuid na Súirbhéireachta Teorann, an t-aon sampla comhaimseartha san Ainmleabhar. Téann an litriú seo maith go leor le foirm úd 1708 agus le 2005 /dromənəˈbeː/ araon; cé gur scríobhadh ‘Wrong’ lena ais. Tá an baile fearainn seo lámh le bf Doire (#28543), a luaitear taobh leis sna foinsí stairiúla.
Léirítear 1655 ‘Derenebehy’ anseo ar léarscáil an Down Survey (as sin a thagann 1670 ‘Derynabehy’ ASE ní foláir). Is dócha nach bhfuil in ‘Dere-’/‘Dery-’ anseo ach botún le haghaidh Drom-, in ionad logainm ar leith * Doire na Beithe a bheith á chur in iúl.
