the bad ground?
Tá an logainm céanna le fáil mar ainm baile fearainn i gCill Chainnigh (#27192) agus mar eilimint sa logainm bf Caisleán na Ropaí (#34413) i Maigh Eo. Is cosúil go bhfuil bf Roplach (#30896) i Luimneach gaolta leo seo: cf. 1574 ‘Ropallagh’ ag tagairt don áit úd i Maigh Eo. Cuir i gcás freisin, mar sin, bf An Raplach (#28067) i gClár Maí Locha agus bf An Raplach (#46645) i dtuaisceart Thiobraid Árann. (Cf. www.dil.ie s.v. ropach.)
