Explanatory note

Gaeilge

Is gaelú í an fhoirm Ghaeilge ar logainm Béarla ó bhunús

Léiríonn an chéad léarscáil den SO paiste de thalamh bogach i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn seo agus thar an teorainn in Morrell, is fo-ithir lochach í seo de réir EPA.ie.
Bhíodh an talamh lochach seo níos fairsinge go stairiúil mar go bhfuil sé marcáilte sa Down Survey mar aonad talún ar leith darb ainm 'Bog Common' suite ar an teorainn le Moortowne agus Morrell agus Brunanstowne.
I bhfianaise seo ar fad is dócha go dtagraíonn an 'moore' sa logainm seo don talamh bhogach ó dheas den bhaile fearainn seachas an sloinne Moore mar atá le fáil in Baile an Mhúraigh/Mooretown i bParóiste an tSiáin.
Sampla eile atá sa logainm seo den chineál Gaelú a ndearnadh trí logainm a chur in oiriúint do chóras fóinéimeach na Gaeilge, Cf. Síopús/Sheephouse, Haltún/Hallstown.
