"Pinkman: Cor-dhuibhthir = Hill of the black district. I can find no authority for this Irish form. I give it from what I know of the physical features of the place, and from the way I have heard the word, Cordiver pronounced (It may be that Diver represents a proper name. O’Hart gives among the families’ descended from Colla-da-chrioch the name Diver (Pedigrees p.137). Compare Woulfe, page 514, for the name O’Duibhidhir. "
