Explanatory note

Gaeilge

the town of An Péacógach
An Péacógach — ón sloinne Péacóg (< Pecok)
Is struchtúr an-chomónta i gCo. na Mí é an téarma lonnaíochta Angla-Normannach -tún (-town ní ba dhéanaí) á cháiliú le hainm pearsanta nó le sloinne. Is é an focal Gaeilge a fhreagraíonn do -town i logainmeacha den chineál sin ná baile, agus rinneadh roinnt mhaith de na logainmneacha Béarla seo a ghaelú ar an múnla baile +* ainm. Féach na tagairtí stairiúla seo a leanas: ‘Pecokestoun’ (1400), Bail’ an phéacóg *Ainmleabhar, scríofa le peann luaidhe (1836); ‘Peacock is a family name’ Ainmleabhar (nóta)
English
