Explanatory note

Gaeilge

Sean-leagan ginidigh reoite den bhfocal scé is ea sciach. B'ionann scé (ginideach uatha nó iolra: sciach) na Sean-Ghaeilge agus sceach na Nua-Ghaeilge. Tá an leagan Dún na Sciach ar taifead sa Ghaeilge ón mbliain 1031 (fara Dún na Sciach, bl. 1819). Uaireanta scríobhtaí Dún na Sciath in ionad Dun na Sciach sa Ghaeilge (Dún na Sciath, bl. 1043; ). Dá scríobhfai Dún na Sciath sa lá atá inniu ann, bhainfí míthuiscint as an logainm mar bhainfí an chaill 'fort of the shields' as in ionad 'fort of the thorn bush / bushes.
