(oak-)wood of red Crath?
Crath — ainm pearsanta?Tá an cáilitheoir anseo an-éiginnte.
Ba dhóigh le duine gur foirmeacha lochtacha iad 1655, 1660c ‘Derrycraroe’ in -cr- as na foinsí gaolmhara Down Survey agus Book of Survey and Distribution agus nach bhfuil in 1838 ‘Derrycraroe’ (Smith:AL) ach aithris orthusan. Bheadh le tuiscint ansin gur foirmeacha chruinne iad 1666 ‘Derrycarrow’ (as foinse nach bhfuil ag brath ar DS/BSD) agus na foirmeacha san Ainmleabhar, agus gur ceartúchán ar an seanlitriú lochtach é 1763 ‘Derrycarrow alias Derrycraroe’. Más iad na foirmeacha seo in -carrow, -carrough atá cruinn, mar sin, d’fhéadfadh sé gur réadú ar Doire Cora “the (oak-)wood of the weir” atá ann. (Cuir na foirmeacha seo i gcomparáid le 1786 ‘Kilnacarrow’, 1802 ‘Killnekara’ faoi bf Coill na Cora/Kilnacarra (#42282) (UF 8).) Féach go bhfuil Cascade léirithe ar an sruthán i ndeisceart an bhaile fearainn ar an teorainn le bf Ros na Críne (SO 6ʺ).
É sin ráite, tugann 1566 ‘Derrecrar[..]’ sna Fiants breis údaráis do na foirmeacha úd in -cr- agus ní mór aitheantas a thabhairt dóibh sin. Is furasta an fhorbairt 1655 -craroe ~/kraˈruə/ > -carrow /kaˈruː/ (2004) a thuiscint de bharr haplógaithe; más ea, is deacair aon mhíniú sásúil a bhaint as an gcáilitheoir seo.
