Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    bush, hillock of —
    Is minic an bhrí 'hillock' le tom i logainmneacha. Mar le raoileann de, is dócha gur leagan díshamhlaithe é de raoire, gin. raoireann (an dara -r- á dhíshamhlú go -l-). Tá raoire le fáil i roinnt logainmneacha luatha; ní léir brí dó

  • English

    bush, hillock of —
    The word tom (usually ‘bush’) often means 'hillock' in placenames. In regard to raoileann, seems to be a dissimilated form of raoire, gen. raoireann (the second -r- having dissimilated to -l-). The word raoire is found in a number of early placenames; its meaning is unclear
