Explanatory note
- Gaeilge
the town of the canons
Díshamhlú -n-n > -r-n is cúis leis an bhforbairt 'Ballyneganenagh' (1536–7) > 'Ballynagranagh' (1654).
Sa 16ú haois bhí an t-aistriúchán C(h)annonston in úsáid sa Bhéarla chomh maith leis an leagan traslitrithe. - English
the town of the canons
The development 'Ballyneganenagh' (1536–7) > 'Ballynagranagh' (1654) was caused by dissimilation (-n-n > -r-n).
In the 16th century the translation C(h)annonston was used in English alongside the transliterated version of the name.
