the sedgy land, (land of) rank vegetation?
Is fréamhaí den fhocal grua(i)g é gruagán de réir Joyce (1875, 339). Ach féach gur drochthalamh riascach atá sa chuid íseal den bhaile fearainn (www.osi.ie; ‘Peaty Gleys’ agus ‘Lac[ustrine soil]’, www.epa.ie) — d’fhéadfadh sé mar sin gur gruagán “sedgy land”, “rank vegetation” atá i dtreis anseo faoi mar atá, de réir cosúlachta, in bf An Gruagán (LG 53) (#54436), in bf An Gruagán agus An Chorr Rua (UF 7) (#41146) agus in bf An Gruagán (CC 40, 43, 44) — féach Logainmneacha na hÉireann II: Cill i logainmneacha Co. Thiobraid Árann 146.
