Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the ‘gréach’ of the oak

Níl bunús gréach róshoiléir i logainmneacha. Tá sé comónta go leor i measc na ndroimníní i ndeisceart Uladh agus is cosúil gur tuigeadh é mar “mountain flat”, “mountain plain” nó a leithéid sa Ghaeilge dhéanach. Díol spéise an leathaistriúchán ‘Grannadarra or Oakfield’ (1836).
