Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    pasture of (the) hollows?

    Tá baile fearainn den ainm Béarla céanna Cloncourse i bparóiste Chluain Eidhneach agus Chluain Caoin (La 12, 17) (#28684). Sa dá chas is inmheasta gur tháinig -r- isteach roimh -s sa leagan Béarla den ainm agus nach aon chuid den bhunainm Gaeilge atá ann.

    Anseo tá réadú breá soiléir ar an défhoghar Gaeilge -ua- (~/uə/) le sonrú sna foirmeacha béarlaithe 1631, 1655, 1659, 1660c agus 1666 [leg. ‘Cluoncuose’]. Is féidir talamh slán a dhéanamh de gurbh é an Béarla a chéadionannaigh cuas le -course.

    Sa logainm eile úd i bparóiste Chluain Eidhneach agus Chluain Caoin (#28684) tá an -r- le feiscint chomh luath le 1713 ‘Cloncourse’.
