Sin é go díreach an rud a bhí de dhíth orm, a Vincent. Go raibh míle maith agat.

Das, cad é a bheadh agat ar the McMurphy family, the Murphys srl. Daoine dar sloinne Mac Murchaidh, sliocht Mhic Mhurchaidh, clann, teaghlach Mhic Mhurchaidh srl?

Míle buíochas leat a Vincent as an eolas sin. Is luachmhar an t-eolas atá agat maidir le foclaíocht na staire. Is i gcúrsaí a bhaineann le sloinnte Gaelacha is mó a bhfuil mo spéis féin ach tá mé ag streachailt le téarmaíocht. Go raibh maith agat fosta as an nod faoi Mag in ionad Mac.

A Vincent a chara, tá mé ag scríobh aiste gairid ar chlann Mhic Aonghusa as Uíbh Eachach Uladh @vmstarai.bsky.social bhí mé díreach ag iarraidh fáil amach cadé an córas ainmniúcháin a úsáideann staraithe de ghnáth i leith teaghlach mar seo "clann", "muintir", "sliocht"? Bheinn buíoch as aon chuidiú

Cad é an bunús atá leis, agus an bhfuil focal Ultach ag freagairt dó nó atá gaolta leis?

Hidden away beside a stream in County Kilkenny, you can find one of the finest portal tombs in Ireland. And the scale of this thing has to be seen to be believed!

The Kilmogue Dolmen likely dates to around 3800–3500BC.

It is known locally as Leac an Scáil, perhaps meaning 'The Stone of Shadow'.

A tall megalithic tomb comprised of upright stones known as orthostats supporting a massive capstone

It might be Scál instead of Scáil. Scál can mean a couple of different things including giant, hero or even ghost.

Leac generally means a flat stone or flagstone.

So "the hero's slab" or something like that.

Leac na Scáile would be the flagstone of the shadow.

Tá an focal sea, nó seagh go canúnach sa teanga i gcónaí, cé nach bhfuil sé róleitheadach anois b'fhéidir.
