Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    transverse thicket
    Ní léir brí tarsna san ainm. Ní hannamh séimhiú ag leanúint doire -- iarsma den seanlogthuiseal, b'fhéidir

  • English

    transverse thicket
    The meaning of the word tarsna is unclear here. It is not uncommon for lenition to follow the word doire -- a remnant of the old locative case, perhaps
