Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    the town of An Prútartach
    An Prútartach — ón sloinne Prútart (< Proudfoot)
    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, ar nós an logainm seo. Féach na tagairtí stairiúla seo a leanas: ‘Prowdefoteston’ (1440; ‘Joh[n] Prowdefote’), ‘Protfortstone’ (1596), Baile Phrutartaigh Ainmleabhar, scríofa le peann luaidhe (1836)
