 the south-western district, westward from Cnoc n& bpiAn and southward 

 from «,n Cnoc Ttlon, to the western and southern coast-line.

 Cotyledon Umbilicus. Co]\nAti, "little goblet," is obviously the correct form 

 of the plant-name, from the resemblance of the leaf and its stalk to a shallow 

 drinking-glass with a slender stem. The name has doubtless been changed 

 to c i.nn ah, "heap (of stones)," in other places in allusion to the habitat of 

 the plant, already signified by the epithet c&ipl " of the stone-fort."
