Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the hamlet
    giorrúchán < Gráig Uidín (?) “the hamlet of Uidín (sloinne < Woodin na nAngla-Normannach)”

    Tá an cáilitheoir atá le feiscint in iontrálacha 1518c–1610 cosúil le Buidín/Uidín (< Woodin) (cf. bf Baile Bhuidín (#47786) i dTiobraid Árann), ach níl Baidín/Uaidín (< Wadding) le cur as an áireamh ach an oiread (cf. Ó Crualaoich, Logainmneacha na hÉireann IV (LG) s.n. Garryvadden Lower). Pé ar domhan de, is féidir talamh slán a dhéanamh de gur gaelú ar shloinne Angla-Normannach atá ann.

    Ainmneacha stairiúla:

    1. Gráig na bhFuiseog “the hamlet of the larks” ainm eile a bhí ar an áit de réir iontráil 1518c ‘Gragenevosoke’ (leasú sa LS ar an mbunfhoirm ‘Uddyn’). Féach leis na tagairtí stairiúla do id An Ghráig (< Graiguecullen) (#1166212) ar thaobh Cheatharlach na habhann.
    2. Is anseo a bhí 1568 ‘the White Castle’ ach ní luaitear aon iarsmaí san Fhardal Seandálaíochta (www.archaeology.ie).
