Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
approach to (the) ford of (the) mill;
ford-mouth of (the) millTaispeánann na foirmeacha 1606 ‘Beallabollin’, 1655 ‘Bealamullin’, etc., gur béal átha atá i dtosach an logainm seo seachas baile.
Is dócha go bhfuil Droichead na Brocraí/Brockry Bridge (SO 6ʺ) suite ar láthair an átha seo a thug a ainm don bhaile fearainn. Ní mhaireann aon rian den mhuileann féin.
B’fhéidir gur cheart 1606 ‘Beallabollin’ a léamh mar ‘Beallavollin’ < Béal Átha Mhuilinn — ba bheag idir -b- agus -v- i stíleanna áirithe peannaireachta sa tréimhse sin. Ní bheifí ag súil le séimhiú tar éis átha (gin.) go stairiúil, ach tá corrshampla de le fáil, e.g. bf Béal an Átha Mhóir (TÁ 77, 78, 83) (#48346).
