Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    uneven, noticeable fields
    < corr- + achaidh

    An fhoirm uatha corrachadh atá san fhianaise luath gan aon amhras, le réaduithe cinnte ar /u/ deiridh. Tá an fhorbairt go dtí an fhoirm iolra ‘currachaighpl:AL le sonrú go soiléir. Níl aon bhaint ag an logainm seo leis an bhfocal currach “wet land” cé gur mar sin a tuigeadh é do Ghaeilgeoirí déanacha na háite (1836).
