"Pinkman: Doire-shalach = Miry or dirty wood. This appears to be an irregular aspiration of the adjective, as doire is a masculine noun. It must be a remnant of a neuter eclipsis, or what was equivalent to it, and shows that doire was regarded as a neuter noun at one time. Compare Doire-Mhin, Derryveen in Monaghan and Tyrone and Doire-Mhór, Derryveen in Monaghan and Tyrone and Doire-Mhór, Derryvore in Armagh and Fermanagh. "
