- Gaeilge
the townland of Bónastún
Is struchtúr an-choitianta i gCo. na Mí é an téarma lonnaíochta Angla-Normannach -tún (-town ní ba dhéanaí) á cháiliú le hainm pearsanta nó le sloinne.
Gaelaíodh logainmneacha den struchtúr seo i mbealaí éagsúla:
baile an + foirm aidiachtúil shubstainteach den tsloinne m.sh.
(La) Baile an Tancardaigh (#28246) Tankardstown, (Mí) Baile an Chócaigh (#37816) Cooksland
baile + sloinne Angla-Normannach Gaelaithe m.sh.
(Mí) Baile Thancaird (#38745) Tankardstown, (Mí) Baile Chúc (#37713) Cookstown
logainmneacha a chur in oiriúint do chóras fóinéimeach na Gaeilge m.sh.
(Mí) Múrtún (#38730) Mooretown, (Mí) Gallastún (#37961) Gaulstown
I gcás an bhaile fearainn seo, dealraíonn sé gur Gaelaíodh an logainm Boneston (-town ní ba dhéanaí) mar Bónastún ach go ndearnadh athainilís air seo, agus cuireadh an mhír baile leis. Cf. (Mí) Baile Mháistiún (#38538) Macetown agus (Mí) Baile Haltún (#38592) Halltown.
Is é an sloinne Angla-Normannach Bone (Boun) atá sa logainm seo, tá siad fianaithe go maith i measc na nAngla-Normannacha i gContae na Mí agus i gCúige Laighean.Cf.
1398 Mayor: Nich Finglass Bayliffs: Richd. Bacon, Richd. Bone
1399 Mayor: John Drake Bayliffs: Richd, Bone, Richd. Taylor
