"of the churchyard," since all, anciently denoting a church," has the usual 

 modern meaning of " burial-ground," the ancient churches being at best mere 

 ruins, but the cemeteries around them being still preserved. The small 

 harbour protected by the Pier. Cillea.T>, with the ending pronounced -uw, 

 is a new and local formation of the genitive, on the analogy coill, gen. 

 ■ coille&t), " a wood." 



130. Ua-miin pea.-oa.if Hi Ofa-oAin, " Peadar O Bradain's cove," Peter 

 Salmon's Cove. The surname O Bradain is found on the island, and 

 " Salmon " is the accepted English equivalent : bf a.t>An, "a salmon." On the 

 east side of the cove — 



131. Ca.ffa.15 a.' Cumn, or rather Ca.ffa.15 a.' cSmnn, " rock of the 

 beam." Sonn, "a beam or post" (not from conn "a wave," which would 

 have given Caff a.15 n& Uumne). 



131a. Oomeengarve = tla-nriin 5a.fb, "rough cove," marked here on the 

 O.S. map, is not on my list. 



132. II a. T)oif eoca.i, the large sea- rock indicated but not named on the 

 O.S. map below the name Oomeengarve, also the rock due east of it, named — 



133. 'Ooifeoca.i 6a.muinn, Derragliyemon, "Edmond's "Ooif eocai." Of 

 this word, which is plural, I have no explanation. Other rocks at this place 

 are — 



134. Ca.ff6.15 Com&if e-a-mumn, " the rock of Thomas (son) of Edruond," 

 and — 



135. Ca.]\fai5 Sea.ni Aotda 1T)6if, "the rock of John (son) of big Aodh 

 (Hugh)."

 pronounced beAftiA-it). Note that the O.S. map has s (restored) where the 

 actual sound (written f) is h. 



137. pone Uaifb bea.5, Porttarriff beg, "Httle bull's-port." 



138. pojic Uaifb 1116]!, Porttarriff, "great bull's-port." 



139. C0.nna.15 11& Sea.ffa.15e : my guide understood the name to be 

 connected with fea.f6.rii. "standing." In my opinion, feaf|\ac, gen. 

 fea.fna.15e, is a normal Connacht variant of feiffea-c, gen. feiffijje, as 

 ca.f|\ai5im is of coifnea.5a.1m, and the name may be explained as "rock of 

 the plough or of the ploughland." Carricknashasky, the O.S. version, is not 

 authentic, my guide informed me. If it were, it would stand for Ca.ffa.15 

 114 Sea.f5a.15e, " rock of the dry cow," and perhaps the O.S. officer here again 

 substituted a familiar for an unfamiliar word. 



140. Ua.ic a.n "Ooniaig, explained to mean "the dummy's cave," east of 

 pof c Uaifb. If •ooma.15 represents " dummy," this name must be of recent 

 origin.
