Book Description
Excerpt from The Place-Names of Decies Many - perhaps the majority - of townland and parish names possess an antiquity far greater than the present shape of the name would suggest. With a form as of yesterday the name has not unfrequently behind it the hoary antiquity of several centuries. From their occurrence in early deeds and charters we know that many townland and nearly all parish names go back to the Invasion, and undoubtedly a large proportion of these to a period consider ably more remote. Sub-denominations - i.e. Names of townland sub-divisions, roads, wells, fields &c. - are generally less ancient, but even of these a certain proportion is of great age. In hundreds of instances what are now merely townland sub-divisions were formerly independent townlands, and similarly there are townland names which formerly designated not merely the present townland but a district or manor embracing several plowlands.

American Place Names (Classic Reprint)

ISBN: 9781391625003
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Excerpt from American Place Names Wherever feasible, accent is indicated by italics, as in my rhyme for Penelope, Then shell a pea. It will be noted that the mute a is here used to sug gest the sound of the mute o; conversely, O' (short for of) may turn up, in these pages, as a symbol for the same sound. I have even, to the hor ror Of some conscientious souls, refused to quibble over the great gaps that are alleged to exist between Mary, merry, and marry, or between hairy and Harry. For my purposes, if, you wish to rhyme Cairo, (illinois) with arrow, you'll be close enough to the actual pronunciation to get by. This is no book for purists.

Waterford harbour has centuries of tradition based on its extensive fishery and maritime trade.
