INTRODUCTION 1. Studies in Manx place-names Apart from the products of mapmakers (cf. §4.7. below), the first known work on Manx Place-names is A. W. Moore's The Surnames and Placenames of the Isle of Man (Moore 1890b). This short work essentially contains a list of placename elements found in Manx nomenclature with comments on or a short discussion of their meaning and distribution. The first known systematic and comprehensive survey of Manx place-names (in so far as collections of place-names had been extracted from documentary sources, assembled chronologically and conclusions arrived at through scientific discussion) was made by the Manx local historian J. J. Kneen in his sixvolumed Place-Names of the Isle of Man (Kneen 1925-28). This was followed shortly afterwards by Carl J. S. Marstrander, Professor of Celtic at the University of Oslo, whose work Det norske landnàm pà Man 'The Norse settlement of Man' (Marstrander 1932) looks essentially at the Old Norse content of Manx place-names with some discussion of the phonological problems involved. Marstrander followed this in 1934 with his "Remarks on the Place-Names of the Isle of Man" (Marstrander 1934), which comments on Kneen's conclusions. Marstrander's main contribution on Manx place-names (Marstrander 1932) is in Norwegian and as such remained a "closed book" to many scholars until relatively recently (though an English translation was made 1956-60 for use at the Manx Museum Library only; cf. Marstrander 1932). In 1929 W. Walter Gill contributed a considerable number of names to do with well-, road- and place-lore in his Manx Scrapbook (Gill 1929) and to an extent again in his Third Manx Scrapbook (Gill 1963). As most of the information derives from oral tradition his contribution is useful, even if some of the spelling forms and explanations could be regarded as uncertain or antiquarian. In 1970-71, as part of the then ongoing debate concerning the proportion of Old Norse and Gaelic speakers in Man during the Scandinavian period (9th13th cent.), Margaret Gelling contributed two important articles on Manx PN (Gelling 1970, 1971), examining their early forms and elements as found in pre-16th-century sources, arguing for an ON hegemony and a reintroduction of

ix

Introduction

Gaelic into Man after the Scandinavian period. These were followed in 1976, as part of the same debate, by Basil Megaw (Megaw 1976(1978)). He set Manx PN in the context of a reassessment of the evidence relating to the Scandinavian period, dating a vital source about 100 years earlier. He argued for a continued Gaelic presence in Man throughout the same period. Additional contributions on aspects of Manx place-names to date include Eleanor Megaw (Megaw 1978), Gillian Fellows-Jensen (Fellows-Jensen 1983, 1985, 1993), Robert L. Thomson (Thomson 1978, 1991), William & Constance Radcliffe (Radcliffe 1978 & [1983]), Margaret Gelling (Gelling 1991), and George Broderick (Broderick 1978, 1979b-1982, 1987, 1993). 2. The Manx Place-Name Survey The Manx Place-Name Survey was set up by myself in late 1988 at the University of Mannheim during my time there as Senior Research Fellow and Assistant Lecturer in Celtic Languages at the Seminar für Allgemeine Linguistik (Chair: Professor Dr. P. Sture Ureland), with Robert L. Thomson and Gillian Fellows-Jensen as academic consultants for the Gaelic and Scandinavian material respectively. The need for the establishment of a formal Manx Place-Name Survey was recognised in 1978 when Manx local historians William & Constance Radcliffe published their Maughold and Ramsey Place-Names (Radcliffe 1978). This book made clear that there was much more place-name material from documentary sources than hitherto realised awaiting collection and analysis. Up until then, the only comprehensive works devoted to Manx place-names had been those of Kneen and Marstrander referred to above. The Radcliffes claimed that their material extended to some eight times the amount collected by Kneen for the same parish (Maughold). In 1983 they followed their 1978 book with Kirk Bride - a Miscellany (Radcliffe n.d. [1983]), which contains PN and other material from the parish of Bride. Both books made clear that a systematic survey of place-names from all 17 parishes, 4 towns, and numerous villages, etc, was a desideratum, particularly a collection from oral sources, since those who would know the older names and their pronunciation would be elderly and would not be amongst us indefinitely.

Introduction

This urgency was recognised by Professor Dr. Máirtín Ó Murchú, then Director of the School of Celtic Studies at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, who in the summer of 1989 made funds available to enable a four-week field trip to be undertaken from Mannheim (August 1989) with the sole purpose of recording on reel-to-reel tape place-name material and associated traditions from oral sources within the Island. The University of Mannheim provided an Uher 4000 Report L (four track) tape recorder and tapes for the purpose. The DIAS also funded two further similar field trips to Man (February and August 1990). For the August trip financial assistance was also forthcoming from Rev. Robert L. Thomson and the Manx Heritage Foundation. In the course of the three field trips some 75 people were interviewed and sound-recorded. During 1989 applications were made from Mannheim to the German funding agencies Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and Volkswagenwerk-Stiftung to enable full time work on the Survey to take place, but these proved unsuccessful. In April 1989 discussions were entered into with my colleague and friend Dr. Emrys Evans, then Professor of Irish at the University of Wales at Aberystwyth, with a view to seeking substantial funding for the project from private sources within the United Kingdom. Shortly before, in March 1989, the then University Grants Committee had apparently declared Aberystwyth to be the main "centre" for Celtic Studies in the UK. During subsequent meetings with Professor Evans (held on a regular basis at the University of Liverpool, where he was then Visiting Professor of Irish at the Institute of Irish Studies) the possibility was discussed of bringing the Manx Place-Name Survey under the aegis of Aberystwyth, as representing the "Manx" aspect of Celtic Studies there, to facilitate funding potential from within the UK. Professor Evans gave every assistance in this respect. As a result a successful application was made by him in May 1990 to the London-based Leverhulme Trust for a substantial grant to enable full-time work on the Survey to be undertaken for a period of three years, namely from October 1990 to September 1993. The Leverhulme funding made possible the following. First, completion of the oral part of the Survey for the whole Island, which resulted in more than 180 informants being recorded on tape and some 20 or so others in phonetic

script, of whom more than 80% to date are now deceased. Second, completion of the collection of PN material from all pre-16th-century documentation and all map and field-name material for the whole Island. Third, extraction, compilation and analysis of place-name material from all relevant documentary sources for the Sheading of Glenfaba, the subject of the first volume. In May 1993 a contract was entered into with Max Niemeyer Verlag, Tubingen, for the publication of an anticipated seven volumes in the Manx PlaceNames Series. September 1994 saw the publication of Vol. 1 Sheading of Glenfaba, April 1995 Vol. 2 Sheading of Michael, April 1997 Vol. 3 Sheading of Ayre, September 1999 Vol. A Sheading of Garff, September 2000 Vol. 5 Sheading of Middle. Work on Vol. 6 Sheading of Rushen was completed in April 2002. From 1991 to 1996 additional funding for the Survey was forthcoming from the British Academy. In December 1994 the Manx Place-Name Survey Trust was established to co-ordinate financial support for the Survey from within the Isle of Man. In November 1997 it was assisted in this task by the Centre for Manx Studies (University of Liverpool). From July 1999 to March 2002 financial assistance towards Vol. 6 was also provided by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Bonn. 3. Land division and tenure in the Isle of Man For administrative purposes the Isle of Man is divided into six sheadings, each comprising three parishes (apart from Glenfaba which until 1796 only contained two; cf. Gill 1883: 349-51). Each parish contains a varying number of treens (in the case of Malew eight lord's land and nine abbeyland treens, Arbory nine and Rushen sixteen lord's land treens), which in turn contain on average four quarterlands. The whole is administered by Tynwald, the Government of the Isle of Man. At the time when the English king Henry IV granted Man to Sir John Stanley of Knowsley in 1406 (the Stanleys ruled as kings and lords of Man till 1736), the greater part of the Island was held by his immediate tenants. Other parts were freehold, held by the Bishop, the Abbot of Rushen and other barons by fealty, while the rest consisted of the castles (Rushen and Peel) and unrented

xii

Introduction

wastelands. When Rushen Abbey and Douglas Priory were dissolved in 1540, their lands became vested in the English Crown. In 1609 the Crown transferred them to the Stanleys, who at various periods (Gill 1883: 4, Megaw 1950: 17382, Broderick 1981/82: 24-26) obtained possession of the baronies, except for that of the Bishop, the Barony of St. Bees (which later came into the possession of the Christians of Milntown), and the Maughold "Stafflands". In 1704, after long years of dispute between successive Stanley lords and their tenants regarding land tenure, rents, etc, an Act of Settlement was passed by Tynwald (Gill 1883:160-171) securing land tenure in favour of the tenants. In 1736 the Dukes of Atholl succeeded the Stanleys in their manorial rights as Lords of Man. In 1765 by the Act of Revestment the Dukes of Atholl were obliged to sell their manorial rights to the British Crown, which they eventually sold in 1829. In 1860, by the Disafforestation Act, part of the wastelands thereby acquired were sold, part retained by the Crown, and the rest allotted to the owners of customary lands in lieu of right of common. For the purposes of Manx place-name study we can speak of five different classes of land (till 1900): 1. The customary estates (quarterlands) including the abbeylands and baronies, but excluding 2. The Bishop's Barony and Demesne, the Barony of St. Bees, and the Maughold "Stafflands". 3. The wastelands or "Forest", operated upon by the Disafforesting Act of 1860. 4. Estates created out of Crown land by freehold grants from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. 5. Lands not part of the Forest still retained by the Crown. The estates in the first two classes are divided into a) quarterlands (the principal estates), b) mills, etc, c) cottages, i.e. plots of land in towns and villages and a few in the country adjoining quarterlands (Moore 1900: 871-73). Though none are complete for the Island in any single year, the earliest comprehensive setting books (Libri Assedationis) or rent rolls indicate that about 1500 the farmland in Man comprised some 730 quarterlands, extending from ca.50 to ca. 180 acres in area (exclusive of former common grazing), but aver-

xiii

Introduction

aging some 90 acres (Davies 1956: 109). The intacks, i.e. parts of the forest or common and other waste lands enclosed under licence from the Lord of Man, form a further division of the Lord's Lands, but not in the abbeylands or baronies. The question of the origin of the concept of treen and quarterland has been exhaustively discussed by Marstrander (1937) and Megaw (1976 (1978)) and for our purposes will only be lightly touched on here. There are believed once to have been as many as about 220 treens in the Island. In about 1500 179 treens of lord's land are recorded, comprising some 594 quarterlands. In addition there were about 147 quarterlands of monks' and bishop's land where some treen organisation has also survived. Earlier intack land may have later come to be reckoned as quarterland or even as treen land. The setting books group the tenants' names under treens, which could give the impression that the treen was the main unit of land, and that the quarterland as a unit was a more recent concept. However, Megaw (1978: 279ff) argues that, since it can be shown that six prominently sited non-Christian burial mounds (two of which have been shown by excavation to be of 9th-century Norse settlers) are distributed individually over as many quarterland farms, the quarterland may have been the principal holding in that area at that time. It is not known whether such quarterlands were already grouped into treens then. It seems likely, however, "that the holdings that came to be known as quarterlands represent in general elements in a very early [i.e. pre-Scandinavian] land system" (Megaw 1978: 281; see now also Moore 1999: 171-82). The term treen, possibly deriving from G. tir uinge 'ounceland' (Marstrander 1937: 389-90, English summary 424), though more likely from G. trian, d. triuin 'third part; district' (Dw.970), would represent an administrative unit designated for tax purposes comparable with the 7th-cent. Irish concept of tirmbó 'cow-land' as a tax unit (Megaw 1978: 280). Megaw (ibid) compares the four-quarterland unit (treen) with the Carolingian system whereby four manses (later five) combined to provide and support one fighting man, one supplying the man, the rest his armour and upkeep. Marstrander (1937) demonstrates fairly conclusively that each treen originally had an Early Christian keeill and family burial-ground, thus supporting the tradition of the Manannan (Tradition-

xiv

Introduction

aiy) Ballad (ca. 1500) that St German built a small chapel (keeill) in every treen bailey (i.e. the treen), and indicating that the treen as a unit has its roots in a preScandinavian milieu. So too might the concept of "sheading", the six court districts into which Man has been divided since the Middle Ages. Though the term is evidently derived from ON séttungr 'sixth part' (Marstrander 1937: 410, 431), though the spelling (and perhaps the concept) is influenced by ME sheding 'division' (and the island of Gotland was evidently also divided into six séttungar), sheading, in a British Isles context, may well represent a replacement of an earlier (?Celtic) term comparable with the Welsh cwmwd "commot; locality, neighbourhood; a unit...in which a court of law was held...two (sometimes more) of which formed a cantre/[English 'hundred']" (GPC/I: 643a). Anglesey (comparable in area to the Isle of Man) has six commots grouped into three lots of two, but Man because of its mountain chain is divided into two lots of three sheadings (Megaw 1978: 284). Megaw (ibid) suggests that each of the six individual sheadings had formerly been administered from a treen-estate (or possibly from a particular quarterland within the treen) within a district that had the same name: Glenfaba(n) (possibly in the area of Glenaspit), Kirk Michael, (le) Ayre (?in Bride near Ballavarkish), Grauff (now Garff1, cf. the Grawe quarterlands near Laxey), Midell (cf. Middle farm), and Russin (Rushen). These former sheading-centres all appear to have been farms, though not necessarily defensive points, and would be directly comparable with the maerdref '(royal) steward's farm/township' of the Welsh cymydau. 4. Source material 4.1. Pre-16th-century sources Until the 16th century documentary source material for Manx place-names is exceedingly scant What we have at our disposal includes the following: 4.1.1. Coucher Book of Furness Abbey (Latin; containing a copy of a bull of Pope Eugenius III dated ca. 1152-53 and a grant dated 1246 regarding land in Arbory and Malew),

Introduction

4.1.2. Register of the Priory of St. Bees (Latin; containing charters ca. 11541321 regarding land in Maughold), 4.1.3. Charter of Olaf II (1226-37) to Whithorn Priory 1228 regarding land near Greeba (Latin; original lost, copy 1504), 4.1.4. the Chronicles of Man (Latin; ca.1257, with Continuation till 1377; appended Abbeyland Bounds relating to the parishes of Malew, Lezayre, and Lonan/Maughold, ca.1280), 4.1.5. reference in the Patent Rolls (Latin) for 1291 to St. Patrick's Church, Jurby, 4.1.6. (though properly 14th-cent.) the "forged" Papal Bull of 1231 (ca. 1360+; Latin, concerning various church lands throughout the Island). 4.1.7. the Appyn Charter (Latin; land grant of 1376/77 concerning land in Glenfaba), 4.1.8. Sheading Court Roll (English) 1417/18, 4.1.9. Garrison Inquest Roll (English; relating to Castles Rushen and Peel) 1428, Thereafter, the main repositories of Manx place-name material consulted in the course of this work include the following. 4.2. Setting books From 1506 to 1783 for the South of the Island (i.e. lying south-east of the central mountain chain - embracing the parishes of Rushen, Arbory, Malew, Santan, Marown, Braddan, Conchan (Onchan), Lonan, and Maughold) and 1515 to 1911 for the North (north-west of the mountain chain, embracing the parishes of Patrick, German, Michael, Ballaugh, Jurby, Lezayre, Andreas, and Bride)2 we have available to us a series of rent rolls (Lords Composition Books (LCB) and Libri Assedationis (LA), or setting books) containing names of tenants (paying rent to the Lord of Man) entered on a parish basis.The tenants' names are grouped under their respective treens. In 1643 James I Seventh Earl of Derby, Lord of Man (Yn Stanlagh Mooar 'the Great Stanley'), as part of his new policy towards land tenure (cf. Moore 1900: 880-907), caused a thorough

xvi

Introduction

revision of LCB to be made in an attempt to find out exactly who held land from him and for what rent. This resulted for our purposes in much more place-name detail being included than hitherto. The new format embraced for the first time a number of quarterland and intack names, which in this respect was greatly expanded upon in LCB 1704, the year of the Act of Settlement. LCB 1704, therefore, comprises the main reservoir of the earliest attested forms of the majority of quarterland and intack names. After 1704 LA occasionally contain quarterland names, but regularly any intack names, though there was no legal requirement to do so. From 1869 (sometimes from 1858) till 1911 quarterland names are regularly entered. In 1911 the rents were redeemed. In the course of the 18th century, from ca.1720 to ca.1797, the number of new parcels of intack land taken in and registered, e.g. in Lezayre, increased dramatically (though in Andreas and Bride, for example, the increase was slight), and these form a major source of our place-name material. Similar setting books for abbeyland holdings (essentially in Rushen, Malew, German, Braddan, Lonan and Lezayre; also the Baronies of Bangor and Saul in Patrick, of St. Trinian's in Marown, of St. Bees in Maughold and the Maughold "Stafflands", of the Bishop in Marown, Patrick, Braddan, Ballaugh, Michael, and Jurby) provide similar material. 4.3. Deeds of sale and mortgage Beside the setting books the other main source of PN material is the deeds of sale and (less numerous) mortgage which date from ca.1700 to the present; supplementary material in this respect can also be gleaned from the Castletown Deeds (to 1846). As well as quarterland and intack names, these also contain a considerable number of field names (in Manx), many of which have since fallen into disuse. A comparison with those collected on sound-recordings from oral tradition (1989-98) makes that quite clear. The deeds form the main source of early field names. For our purposes here deeds to the year 1848 only (the date of the change-over to monthly registration) have been consulted, thereafter the exercise resulted in diminishing returns. Deeds earlier than ca. 1700 are found in Libri Cancellarii.

Introduction

4.4. Estate plans An additional source in this respect are the estate plans of 18th- & 19th-century date. These were drawn up by surveyors for a number of Manx estates, though not all. A small proportion of those available at the Manx Museum Library are accompanied by lists of field names, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Nevertheless, some of the early plans record field names in Manx since lost to oral tradition. Estate plans of differing dates, but of the same estate, can show varying names for the same field, cf. the estate plans for Ballavoddan AN for 1779 and 1830. 4.5. Enquest files For names of a different kind, e.g. inland rock names, stream names, etc, i.e. those used as boundary markers, rather than farm or intack names, the main source is the Enquest Files (EF: 1688-1916); these records arise from local boundary disputes between neighbours. 4.6. Woods'

Atlas

Woods' Atlas of 1867 (qv) draws essentially on setting books and tithe plans to give an accurate picture of land holdings in the Island at that time. Though some additional PN material has been gleaned from its pages, the Atlas has mainly been used as a means to plot the whereabouts of the various intacks mentioned in the setting books, deeds, etc, and to delineate the various holdings on the Survey's own maps to determine the placement of their fields. 4.7. Maps Early maps showing the Isle of Man date from Ptolemy (2nd cent. AD), to the monk Matthew Paris (ca.1250), through to Gough (ca.1350) and the Portolan Charts of the early 16th century. However, the earliest map to attempt to include inland place-names is Gerhard Mercator's map of the British Isles of 1564, where ten names are included. Then comes Christopher Saxton's map of England and Wales of 1583 with 25 names. The first map-maker to arrange inland names on a parish basis was Thomas Durham in 1595, whose work was first printed as a separate map by John

xviii

Introduction

Speed in 1605; his map contains 71 names. Throughout the 17th century Speed's maps were copied by others. The first to show the Island in its recognisable shape was that of Capt. Greenvile Collins in 1689. This map contains 68 names, many of which have been inaccurately copied or heard. Collins' map also influenced later map-makers, particularly Morden (1695), Moll (1724), and Kitchin (ca. 1750). Apart from McKenzie's sea chart of 1760 (which gives little inland detail), the next map showing 135 inland place-names, as well as the new roads in relation to the mountains, is that of Peter Fannin of 1789. This became the model for those printed in late 18th-century tours, histories and almanacs of the Isle of Man. Fannin's map was followed by that of John Drinkwater in 1826. This was the first to define the sheadings and parishes accurately, as well as the shape and distribution of the mountains. The PN detail has increased markedly, with, for example, 17 for Michael, 11 for Ballaugh, and 10 for Jurby. Drinkwater's map was also used as a model for guidebook maps (Cubbon 1967). The last map to be drawn before the coming of the Ordnance Survey in 1864 was that prepared by the Disafforestation Commission in 1861. This contains a number of useful name variants. The first Ordnance Survey 25-inch series was published in 1869, the 6-inch series in 1870, and the 1-inch single map in 1873.

4.8. Census returns The census returns available to us date from 1841 to 1891. Access to later census data which also contain personal details is not possible owing to the Island's 100-year restriction on access (the census for 1901 has recently been released). The returns record quarterland and other farm names, as well as street names (for towns and villages) and individual house names in country areas; the house names have largely been ignored here. It is in the census returns that we witness the rise in the number of names in English, especially in the country areas, reflecting an incoming non-Manx-speaking population. We begin to see this already in the deeds from ca. 1820 onwards, cf. Northop (part of Bollagh) GE, Laurel Bank (part of Cronk y Killey) GE, etc.

Introduction

4.9. Ordnance Survey name books Name books for the initial Ordnance Survey of the Isle of Man 1864-69 (housed in Southampton) were, according to the OS, lost in an air raid during the Second World War. Those that survive date from 1955-57 (occasionally a little later), when a revised survey was made, updating the material gathered during the first survey, and these (except those maps designated NX, which appear also to be lost) are now housed with the Department of Local Government and Environment of the Isle of Man Government. These name books are based on the individual 6-inch sheets of the first survey. They contain some names, particularly of coastal features, gleaned from oral tradition, which are not otherwise attested in the documentary sources, and in that respect they are quite useful. The orthography of the Manx names here largely mirrors that of the census returns (cf. above). 4.10.

Newspapers

These contain almost exclusively farm names and for our purposes range in date from ca. 1800 to ca. 1860, but mostly in the first 30 years of the 19th century. It is here that more modern (English) names are found side by side with older (Manx Gaelic) names. 4.11.

Field-names

In addition to the above described deeds our main source here is the material collected by the Manx Museum Folklife Survey. From 1949 to ca.1975 (but also embracing material collected up to some 20 years earlier) the Folklife Survey made a substantial collection of field-names for most parishes in the Island recorded either on their maps or in their parish-based field books. The vast majority of the names are in Manx. Later field-names, mostly in English, were located in the Department of Agriculture's soil analysis returns (1973-1991) available at their experimental farm at Knockaloe Mooar just south of Peel3.

In December 2001 the Board of Agriculture returns (1939-48), containing much FN material, were made available for consultation. They are housed in the Manx Museum archive MM.MS.9844. This corpus will appear in Vol. 7.

Introduction

5. Orthography The setting books were apparently compiled annually, or whenever it was possible to collect the rent. The surviving books (from 1511(1515) to 1911) seem to be assembled in "bouts", i.e. successive books copy from the preceding ones for a period, then comes a set of minor adjustments, e.g. in name forms, which are then copied by a further series, and so on till 1704, the year of the Act of Settlement. Straight copying continues until the final series (which includes quarterland names) begins in 1869 (in some cases 1858) running on till 1911 when the rents were redeemed. Copying naturally leads to misreadings, noticeably so after 1858. So Kylfarick E dramma (i.e. Killpherick a Dramma GE) 1704 (thereafter in various renderings of the same) appears as Kill Garick ne dramma (for ny for y, cf. §7.13.1. below) after 1858 successively till 1911; Close ne brebbag (i.e. Close ny Brebbag GE) for 1704 continues as Close ne Cribbag(h) after 1858 till 1911. It is in this latter phase that many misreadings of this sort occur, indicating either that the name was unknown to the clerk entering the names at the time and also to succeeding clerks, or (perhaps less probably) that the name had generally fallen into disuse. Though grouped under individual treens, the principal unit, as noted above, was evidently the quarterland. The treen names seem to have been entered as a matter of course, almost certainly so by the latter phase, if not before, even though they appear no longer to have been in general currency. So TR-Balladoraughan 1704, Balladouraghan 1911 (= QL-Ballagharraghan 1704, Ballagarraghyn 1891) would almost certainly have been known at that time as Ballagarraghan/Ballagarraghyn. As in the setting books, Manx names in the deeds are generally set in "nonstandard" orthography. Nevertheless even here, except for the occasional aberrant clerk, there seems to have been a certain consistency throughout the 18th and into the 19th century, so currough, curraugh, curragh for curragh. Placename renderings seem to have become standardised, first by the Official Census (1841-1891, but especially after 1851), then by the Ordnance Survey after 1869, and these two repositories are clearly responsible for the name-forms we have today.

Introduction

Nevertheless, in the 1955-57 Ordnance Survey name books uncertainty as to the "correct" orthographic representation prompted the OS to seek assistance from Local Government Board agents, Post Office officials, or farmers, and on occasion the standard was set from those quarters. So Mwyllin-ny-Cleiy (Patrick) on the OS 6-inch 1870 series becomes (via the Local Government Board) Mullen-e-Cloie today, giving rise to a pronunciation something like "mullen-a-cloy" (reflecting the orthography), rather than the expected "mullena-clay" or "mullen-a-clye", the latter recorded from the informants. The version printed here (with minor adjustment) would reflect the attested pronunciation, namely Mwyllin y Chleigh.

ti. Common elements in Manx place-names The linguistic history of the Isle of Man is now fairly well known among scholars of Celtic and Scandinavian studies generally and need only be briefly sketched here. Given that Man is surrounded on three sides by the island of Britain, which during the Roman period was evidently predominantly Brittonic speaking, the probability is that Man also at that time shared a dialect of that same speech with its neighbours. With perhaps the exception of the bilingual 5th/6th-cent. Ogam (Goidelic) and Latin "Knock-y-Doonee" Stone (showing elements of British speech; cf. Jackson 1953: 173) and (though an ON etymology has been proposed) the place-name Hentre ML (cf. W. hendref old settlement, farm, etc', parallel to Mx. shennvalley, G. sean bhaile) from the Limites or Abbeyland Bounds attached to CM (f.53r; ca. 1280), no other trace, so far as is known, of British speech is attested in the Island. Goidelic settlement in Man is reckoned to have taken place from ca.500AD, with Goidelic speech in the ascendant and continuing through the Scandinavian period to be replaced by English from the mid-nineteenth century onwards (Thomson 1983, Broderick 1991). With perhaps the exception of three or four names, the Gaelic place-names of the Isle of Man (which constitute the vast majority) can be shown to be largely post-Scandinavian, i.e. formed since the end of the Scandinavian period in the 13th century (Gelling 1991, Broderick 1993). In the formation of Manx placenames common elements occur again and again, as dictated by the geography,

Aspects of Manx grammar relevant to place-names The following forms are represented in Manx place-names: 7.1. Consisting of a noun only Rushen: dim. of ros, G. ros, roisean 'wood, copse; site of an old cemetery; isthmus, point, promontory ; level tract of arable land'. Name of sheading (RU), parish (RU), and glen (PA). This type of name is extremely rare in Man, and apart from the name Man itself Rushen is possibly the only example of this type to have survived. There is no indefinite article in Manx, so Rushen can mean 'wood', etc, or 'a wood' etc. Though given that this type is also attested in Ireland and Scotland of pre-13th-century date, the definite article could also be implicit in an element of this type, e.g. ScG. beannan 'the peaked place'. Nouns standing alone also function as place-names in English and Scandinavian PN, and the element of definiteness is implicit and not stated, even though languages normally employ

Introduction

a definite article, cf. Brooke in Leicestershire and Norfolk (OE brôc), Breck in Lancashire (Sc. brekka), Dal in Denmark (Sc. dalr). 7.1.1. Morphology of nouns in Manx place-names Nouns in Manx deriving from original Oír. masc., fern., and neut. come down as either masc. or fem. From the Classical period of Manx (CMx; essentially 18th cent.) down through to Late Manx (LMx; 19th/20th cent.) nouns came more and more to be treated as masc. only, unless obviously otherwise, e.g. ben 'woman', or marked as fem. in nominal phrases, e.g. fud ny hoie 'throughout the night', G. arfad na h-oidhche. Many nouns used in Manx PN reflect original G. accusative/dative singular expressing "motion towards" or "rest" (in PN there may, of course, be loss of a locative preposition): Mx. thie 'house' Oír. d. taig (cf. ScG. taigh), n/a tech (neuter s-stem). Mx. bwoaillee 'cattle fold, pen' Oír. n. buaile, d. buailidh (also Mod.Ir.) (dental stem). Mx. keeill 'church, chapel' Oír. n. cell, d. (later n.) cill Ca-stem) (cf. also §6. above). Mx. Ihiargee 'hillside, hillslope' Oír. lerg, lergach (Λ-stem), d. lergaige (idstem). Mx. moanee 'bog, peat-moss, turf turbary' Oír. móin, d. mortai (i-stem). 7.2. Singular article + orig. masc. noun Niarbyl 'the tail' PA, Mx. yn arbyl, G. an t-earball, or possibly old locative i n-earball. Inclose 'the enclosure' BA, Mx. yn close, G. an clós. Yn Elian 'the island' AN, Mx. ibid., G. an t-eilean. The sg. def. art. in Mx. is y/yn, which occasions no change in the initial consonant of the following masc. noun. The masc. genitive of the article, viz. y/yn, occasions lenition (spirantisation) in the initial consonant of the following noun, except dentals. In orig. masc. nouns in Mx. with initial vowel the original -t of the def. art. does not appear in the Manx reflexes, e.g. Mx. yn ean 'the bird',

xxvii

Introduction

G. an t-éan\ Mx. yn ellan, G. an t-eilean, as if Mx. had generalised the fem. inflection. However, in many PN forms of this type the Eng. def. art. the has replaced Mx. y/yn and this has now come to be fairly standard in Manx place-names. Occasionally the accompanies y/yn where the latter has become inseparable from its noun (cf. also in §7.3. below): The Cronk 'the hill', G. an cnoc. The Garey 'the garden, enclosure', G. gàradh, d. gàraidh (< ON garòr). The Close 'the enclosure' G. cìós (< MedL clausus). The Inclose 'the enclosure' (w. Mx. def. art. agglutinated) 7.3. Singular article + orig. fem. noun Neary 'the shieling' PA, Mx. yn eary G. an áirghe, an àirìdh. With Eng. def. art: the Eary, the Neary (w. Mx. def. art. agglutinated). Naaie 'the homefield' Mx. yn aaie, G. anflmithche, an fliaiche. With Eng. def. art. The Naaie (w. Mx. def. art. agglutinated). The Creg 'the rock' GE, G. an chreag. In the above exx. the misdivision of the def. art. arises in Mx., but the sense of the article, being present or required, is continued in English. Originally the Mx. def. art. lenited the initial consonant of a following orig. fem. noun, e.g. yn chreg 'the rock'. For the disappearance of lenition in orig. Ikl, /g/, Id/, cf. §7.5. below. Original fem. nouns in inital ls-1 show t- lenition after the n/a of the def. art. Nouns in /s'/ + V are sometimes prone to this whether they are originally fem. or not; the article itself may sometimes be suppressed: Yn Chellagagh 'the place of willows' [tfUagax] BA (an t-seileagach). This also applies to the preposed adjective shenn 'old', G. sean, seann when qualifying an orig. fem. noun. See also §7.8. yn chenn reinnagh MI 'the old bracken area' (an t-sean raithneach). yn chenn chroit BA 'the old croft' (an t-sean chroit).

Introduction

7.4. Original mase, noun + adjective Cronk Bane 'white hill' GE (cnoc ban). In Manx the qualifying adjective normally follows the noun (but cf. §7.8. below). After orig. masc. nouns there is no lenition in the following adjective. However, in LMx. particularly, "abuse" of lenition can take place in qualifying adjectives; so we find also: Cronk Vane 'white hill' PA (cnoc bhdn) Cronk Vooar 'big hill* PA (cnoc mhór) unless we are to take this as an oblique case form with suppressed initial element in n/a, as seems to be the case in: Mullagh Vedn 'white summit' PA, Mx. mullagh bane (for the occurrence of preocclusion, cf. §7.21. below). This is the name of a road and originally we might have expected something like *bayr y vullee vane which would reduce to *bayr y vullagh (mullagh) vane, with loss of lenition (and inflection) in mullagh when there is no longer any reason for it, but with retention of it in the adjective (as a result of fossilisation). Occasionally we seem to have two qualifying adjectives: Cronk Vane Beg 'little white hill' or 'little Cronk Bane' GE Here Cronk Vane is a unit treated as masc. (and vane presumably had no gender) qualified by the adjective beg in contrast, real or implied, to Cronk Vane Mooar. 7.5. Original fem. noun + adjective Creg Veg 'little rock' GE (creag bheag). Leaney Vroagh 'dirty meadow' BA (le'ana bhróghach). Bwoillee ghooh 'black fold' BA (buailidh dhubh). However, as with "abuse" of lenition in qualifiers of orig. masc. nouns (cf. §7.4. above), failure of lenition in qualifying adjectives of orig. fem. nouns also occurs: Creg Bane 'white rock' PA. Eary Mooar 'big shieling' GE. Ooig Dorraghey 'dark cave' PA.

Introducäon

Failure of lenition in initial Idi, Igt, Iti, IfI, Isl begins to be seen in CMx. and is complete by the period of LMx. As this came to be the rule we should speak of "absence", rather than "failure" of lenition, since its occurrence was no longer expected. Note that in standard Manx orthography dh, th represent a form of interdental articulation, viz. [dh], [th] and not [γ], or [h] (or palatalised variants), as in Gaelic orthography. However, they are very irregular in occurrence. 7.6. Singular article + orig. masc. noun + adjective The Cronk Mooar 'the big hill' (an cnoc mór). w. Eng. def. art. 7.7. Singular article + orig. fem. noun + adjective Nary vore 'the big shieling' GE (an àiridh mhór). y Nhaai ghorrym 'the blue flatt' BA (anfliaithcheghorm). E Nay Voare 'the big flatt' JU (anfliaithchemhór). With failure/absence of lenition in the adjective: Nary Glass 'the green shieling' GE, Mx. yn eary glass (an àiridh glas). 7.8. Adjective + noun Shenn valley 'old farm' GE (sean bhaile). Shenn thalloo 'old land' GE (sean talamh). Breck woaillee 'speckled fold' PA (breac-bhuailidh). Doolough, Dollagh 'black lake, mire' BA/JU (dubh-loch). Doo-halloo 'black land' BA (dubh-thalamh). Camlork 'crooked leg (i.e. ridge), track* BN (cam lorg). Certain adjectives precede the noun. The most common element of this type in Mx. PN is shenn 'old'. Preposed adjectives normally occasion lenition in the following noun in Mx, except in cases of homorganic inhibition, as in shenn thalloo above. See also §7.3. above. For Mx. representing [fr], cf. §7.5. above. In some PN, in Ballaugh and Jurby for example, the prefix doo- 'black', G. du(i)bh-, so common in Ir/ScG, is restricted in Mx. to a few PN, cf. Doolough

and Doo-Halloo above. The first ex. is a close compound of some antiquity, and bears initial stress, in contrast to the second, which contains a preposed adjective (a later development) and bears forward stress. Another ex. containing forward stress is Camlork above. With failure of lenition: Breck-bwoaillee 'speckled fold' PA. 7.8.1. Nominal prefix + noun Corvalley 'conical hill/edge/hollow, isolated faim' MR (corrhaile). Here cor (G. corf) is used as a prefix and occasions lenition. The combination cor + bailey is quite common in Manx PN, so common in fact to be regarded as adjectival. However, corr can sometimes appear following its noun, cf. Ballacoar (G. baile + corr) LO. 7.9. Article + adjective + noun The Shennvalley 'the old farm* GE, w. Eng. def. art. (seanbhaile). 7.10. Original mase, noun + orig. g. sg. of noun Strooan bayr lieau 'mountain road stream' PA (sruthan bothar shléibhe). Here the constituent bayr lieau qualifies strooan (cf. §7.4. above). Tallow Gienee 'sandy land' BA (talamh gainich). Curragh Ghew Hulby 'the Sulby smith's curragh' BA (currach ghabha Shulbaigh). Here (Mx.) Gaaue Hulby (w. len. in the dep. def. g. of the PN) is treated as a single unit, the first part of which is also subject to len. in a dep. def. g. relationship with preceding 'curragh*. 7.11. Original fern, noun + orig. g.sg. of noun Earylieau 'mountain shieling' GE (áirghe shléibhe). Bwoaillee lieau 'mountain fold' PA (buailidh shléibhe).

"alternative" Mx. g. in -agh (G. -ach), i.e. treated as if a lenited velar stem. This treatment is usually meted out to nouns in -r, though not usually later than Phillips (ca.1610), e.g. (Mx.) pooar 'power', g. (Phillips) poyragh, but cf. 18th-cent. Biblical magher 'field', g. magheragh. Close ny Chibbyragh 'enclosure of the well' BA, n/a form chibbyr, G. tioba(i)r.

Cronk ny Fasney 'hill of the winnowing' GE (cnoc an fltasgnaidh). Creg ny vraane 'rock of the quern' PA (creag an bhróiri). Mx. fasney, G.fasgnadh 'act of winnowing' (orig. u-stem) reflects o-stem declension and in the g.sg. after the def. art lenition plus palatalisation of the final consonant, viz. G. an fltasgnaidh, Mx. *yn asnee. However, verbal nouns in Mx. in -ey (G.-adh) giving -ee (G. -(a)idh) in g.sg. tend to employ that inflection in direct association with the noun (in n/a) they modify in nominal constructions, e.g. Mx. dooinney-moyllee 'best man* lit. 'man of praising' (duinemolaidh), otherwise no inflection takes place (cf. Broderick 1991: 76-77). In addition, there is a tendency in Manx PN to replace yn with ny, as it was felt to "improve" the flow of the (phrasal) name and therefore more "authentic". ny as a g.sg. fem. marker occasions no lenition in the following noun, and so the form Cronk ny Fasney (cnoc nafasgnadh) would be felt to be in order. Also Cronk yn Asney would have suggested '...of the rib', an additional motive for non-lènition. On the other hand Cronk-fasnee (like Eng. Millinghill) without article as quasi-adjective, might have been admissible.

Double plural Brooinyn glassey 'green banks' BA (brua(cha)nan glasa). Here Mx. broogh 'bank', G. bruach, has attracted the pi. suffix -yn twice, evidently as a form of reinforcement, viz. broogh + yn + yn, bruach + an + an, due to loss of medial Ixl. 7.15.3. Triple plural Gloanteenyn Mynnéy, Mx. glionteenyn mynney 'little glen' BN, G. gleann, pl. gleanntaidh + -an+ -an. Here the older pi. form (Mx.) *gliontee (cf. Oír. glennta, Modlr. gleannta, ScG. gleanntaidh) has attracted to it the common pi. ending -yn (G.-an) twice, probably to ensure clarity.

Kerroo ny glough 'quarterland of the stones, stony quarterland' GE, (ceathramh na gcloch). Glion ny mreck 'glen of the trout' PA (gleann na mbreac). Creg ny voillan 'rock of the seagulls' PA {creag na bhfaoileann). Elian ny maghal 'island of the crooks' PA (oileán na mbachall). Close ny Dhunnag 'enclosure of the ducks' BA (clós na dtunag). Tollow ne Gamane 'land of the little mounds' BA (talamh na gcarnàn). In Mx. ny in the g. pi. occasions eclipsis (voicing of Ipl, /t/, /k/, If/, nasalisation of lb/, Id/, /g/) in the initial consonant of the following noun. Genitive plurals identical in form with the nominative singular, widespread in G, are only vestigial in Mx, almost entirely in PN. 7.17.1. Noun + ny

+ genitive plural + adjective

Magher ny claghyn baney 'field of the white stones' PA, BR (machair na clachan biina). Gob ny Creggyn Glassey 'point of the grey rocks' MI (gob nan creagan glasa). When pi. nouns in the g. by position have a qualifying adjective no eclipsis takes place; i.e. the genitive relationship is syntactic, not inflectional. Without the qualifying adjective we would expect something like magher ny glo(u)gh, as in Kerroo ny glough GE above, or gob ny greggyn, though there are insufficient exx. to make this a general rule. 7.17.2. "Reduction" of

genitive plural nylnyn

to ylyn

In addition to the use of the Mx. g. pi. def. art, viz. ny (nyn before vocal anlaut, cf. above), we also find in place-names the reduced form y (yn before initial vowel). Creg a ruddyn 'rock of the seal' PA, Mx. creg ny raun (creag na ron).

Introduction

w. preocclusion (cf. §7.21. below). Creg yn ean 'rock of the birds' PA, Mx. creg nyn ean (creag na n-éan). The two exx. above, however, could conceivably be g. sg. but this would suggest (a rock of) a particular seal or bird, rather than seals or birds in general, as would be implied by a genitive plural. 7.18. Noun + genitive of personal name Keeill Pherick 'Patrick's Church (of the ridge)' GE (Cill Phádraig). Keeill Voirrey '(St.) Mary's Church' GE (Cill Mhuire). Croit yoan E Corns 'John Corris's croft' PA (croit Eoghain 'c Mhuireasa). In Oír. the genitive of a personal name was treated like any other indefinite dependent genitive, i.e. as an adjective in the same position, and so was lenited after a fern, noun in n. sg, and after any singular noun in the dative. Lenition of g. masc. personal names may originate by analogy with personal names following the g.sg. of mac 'son', viz. G. mhic. With failure of lenition (though fem. names in literary sources in Mx. are too rare for any definite conclusions to be drawn): Keeill Moirrey '(St.) Mary's Chapel' GE. Croit Sandy 'Sandy/Alexander's croft' PA. Creg Tim 'Tim's (fishing) rock' PA. Where it is felt that a personal name would in some way lose its "completeness" under lenition, i.e. initial /s/, Iti > Ih/ or If I > 0, then absence of lenition can take place, though foreign names may well be exempt from lenition, as in Welsh. But cf. Close Horn 'Tom's enclosure' PA, AN (w. lenition). Lenition may have taken place here, as Tom was felt npt to be a "foreign" name, whereas Tim may have been. 7.19. Noun + g.sg. of orig.

7.20. Noun + g.sg. of orig. Mac surname Ballakaighin 'Kaighin's farm* GE (baile 'ic Eachainn). Mx. reflexes can show G. mhic + orig. lenited initial consonant in the following element, except in initial C or G due to homorganic inhibition: Ballahimmin 'Shimmin's farm' GE (baile Shio/tiain). Ballacrebbin 'Robin's farm' AN (baile 'ic Raibin). Ballalecce 'Leece's farm' GE (baile 'ic Gialla Iosa). Ballacain 'Cain's farm' PA (baile 'ic Catháiri). Ballacrye 'Crye' farm' BA (baile 'ic Craith). Bwoaillee Carney 'Carney's fold' PA (buailidh 'ic Cearnaigh). 7.21.

Preocclusion

In Manx original long syllables in stressed monosyllables or disyllables exhibiting final stress ending in (in may câses original fortis) III, Imi, Ini, /g/ can in their articulation be accompanied by their corresponding preocclusive, viz. [dl], [bm], [dn], [grj] Mx. shooyll 'walking' [fu:l], [fu:dl]; trome 'heavy' [tro:m], [tro(:)bm]; bane 'white' [be:n], [te(:)dn]; Ihong 'ship' [log], [logg] (see HLSM/II s.v. shooyll, trome, bane, Ihong·, see also HLSM/III: 28-34). Preocclusion can lead to shortening of original long syllables. In place-names, so far as our evidence goes, preocclusion manifests itself as follows: Creg a luggan *[kregalggg] 'rock of the ship' PA, Mx. ereg y Ihong (creag an long) Creg a ruddyn *[krega'rgdn] 'rock of the seals' PA, Mx. creg ny raun (creag na rón) Mullagh Vedn [molaxvedn] 'white summit' PA, Mx. mullagh vane (mullach bhárí). 7.22. Medial and final /sk/ in Ir/ScG. becoming Isti in Manx; 7.22.1. Palatalised variants G. uisce 'water' -> Mx. ushtey /u/t'a/. G. réisg 'of moor, marsh' > Mx. reisht/re:Jt7

G. easbuig 'bishop* -> Mx. aspick, aspit [a(:)spif], [a(:)spit]. 7.23. Centralising of stressed vowels in the environment of Irl or r- clusters In LMx. stressed short or long vowels, or stressed short vowels secondarily lengthened, can be realised as [0] or [0:] in the environment of /r/ or r- clusters (but also to a lesser extent in the environment of /t/, Ibi, Idi, /g/, Imi, Ini, lì/. Is, s7, /χ/; cf. HLSM/III: 44-48), with or without loss of Irl. Ballargey PA [balenga] (baile na leirgé). Doarlish Ard PA [do(:)ltj'0id], cf. ScG. doirling + ard. Faaie oam MR [fiton], [fiam] (faiche eorna). 8. Editorial policy In the present volume minor adjustments in the generally accepted orthography for Manx PN have occasionally been made to reflect the provenance, etc, of a given name. Thus "Ballagarraghyn" GE of the OS maps is rendered here "Ballagarraghan", with final -an, reflecting the original (Ir.) Baile Uí Dhorcháin, reduced in the Mx. reflex to /an/ because unstressed. "Kerrow" (G. ceathramh) is rendered everywhere here as "kerroo" in accordance with standard Manx orthography, even though, especially on the Northside, local pronunciation may reflect /kero/, usually written "kerrow". Treen names are given in their earliest, or near earliest attested form. The format adopted for the place-name corpus in this volume is as follows, depending on the requirements of a given name: a) headname in bold print with any information on general location, or plot number if an Intack, b) forms of its pronunciation with attribution where attested,

xxxviii

Introduction

c) any Ordnance Survey grid reference; these can sometimes appear appended to d), usually in association with an ONB reference, d) any attested forms (with any accompanying descriptions or other relevant information) from documentary sources in chronological order. Names attested once only have that form in the headname, e) (on a separate line) any meaning, giving breakdown of elements with relevant language attribution where applicable, or standard versions of those Manx Gaelic names supplied in non-standard orthography, 0 (on a separate line) any linguistic, or other, discussion, g) any associated Manx Gaelic field-names, with attested forms, meaning and standard versions where applicable; with plot numbers and map attribution where attested, h) list of any field names in English, with plot numbers, etc, where attested. Early documentary forms cited in Kneen (1925-28) may not be shown here, particularly regarding LCB1643, since I personally have not come across them. I get the impression that some items have been attributed an earlier date as a matter of speculation from their appearance in LCB1704. In addition Kneen made frequent use of LCB 1703. This in fact is an imperfect copy of LCB 1704 made, according to MM records, ca. 1760. For this reason I have not used it, except where the original 1704 version is not extant. A number of Kneen's forms are cited from the Diocesan Register (DR). This covers a multitude of possibilities, such that it has often not been possible to check the actual documents Kneen may have used. In such circumstances I have simply given the DR reference cited in brackets along with the relevant page in Kneen. With regard to FN it must be pointed out that field-names are allocated to a particular quarterland, etc, according to the source quoted against it at the date given. This may or may not correspond with later or present-day situations. Where possible Gaelic equivalents are given for those names in Manx Gaelic and Old Norse or English etyma for those thought to be of Scandinavian or English provenance. For the Gaelic names either the Irish or Scottish Gaelic form is given, whichever is felt to be nearer the Manx reflex, or both, or G. (Gaelic) when common to both. This is done merely to illustrate thè Mx. position. The appearance of Gaelic equivalents does not mean that these necessarily

Introduction

appear as place-name elements in Ireland or Scotland; Ir. áirghe 'shieling' (Mx. eary), for example, with the exception of one or two examples in Kerry, does not appear as a place-name generic in Ireland (cf. Joyce 1869-1913, Megaw, E. 1978, Fellows-Jensen 1980). The abbreviation Mx. preceded by an asterisk, viz. *Mx, means that one of the elements in the name, often the specific, whilst obviously Gaelic, has not survived in Manx in the literature and is not found in the dictionaries. The Gaelic (Ir. or ScG.) equivalent will indicate the lost element in Manx. Gaelic versions in brackets merely show the Mx. form in Gaelic dress, without suggesting an equivalent. However, the old nominatives bwoailley 'fold' (G. buaile), Ikargey 'hillslope' (G. learga), and Iheeanney 'meadow' (G. leana), not appearing in the literature or dictionaries, have hitherto appeared in starred form, viz. *bwoailley, etc. Given that there are now enough cases where the spelling is open to interpretation as the old nom. for us to assume it persisted, the above shall henceforth appear non-starred. Parts of a name in italics, e.g. Close Mac AN, indicate that the script is unclear and the reading only tentative. A detailed linguistic introduction, together with full and comprehensive indexes will appear in the final volume. Whilst every effort has been made to be as complete as possible in assembling our place-name corpus, omissions will naturally occur. Omissions discovered or reported will be included in an Addendum in the final volume. Any mistakes that remain are my own. G.B.

Fm. sit. 0474 SC3074 ONB1957. • Kneen (JJK95) notes that the surname Borwan is to be found in the adjacent parish of Kirk Santan in 1515 (in fact (the wife of) Michael Borwan in the treen of Hawe, just south of Port Soderick on the east coast) and suggests this could be the meaning here, viz. 'Borwan's farm', G. baile Bhorbháin, which would give Mx. bailey Vorvane / Varvane. Marstrander (NTS/VII: 302) prefers this to Moore's (Moore 1890b: 118) suggestion of Mx. bayr vane, G. botkar + bhán 'white road'. To me Kneen's explanation is more probable.

Megaw (1999: 264), in his thesis for an original site near Knock Rushen for Rushen Abbey, suggests that the name Carneclet is to be taken with Scarlett (qv), i.e. that it is a misreading / miscopying for Scaruclet, with an inadvertent omission of an initial syllable. Perhaps, but see under Scarlett below.

Marstrander (NTS/VI: 130) argues for ON kuerná(r)~klettr meaning 'millriver rock', though there is no evidence of a mill here. Thomson (1978: 321) posits the near synonym G. earn 'heap of stones', i.e. either element has been applied when the meaning of the former has been forgotten, viz. earn 'heap of stones, cairn' + clett 'rock', w. a glide-vowel between -n and el-. This would probably refer to the prominent Scarlett Stack, as Megaw also suggests (ibid.). Thomson's interpretation seems more likely.

Langness. • Kneen (JJK102) suggests ON kleifaberg 'cliff rock', which Marstrander (NTS/VI: 138) acknowledges is formally possible. But he argues that Langness is quite flat and posits ON hlad-berg 'flat hill', suggesting that Mx. /kl-/ for /xl-/ (repr. ON /hi-/) is quite old. In fact the loosening of articulation in this respect in Mx. (i.e. /xl-/ to /kl-/) can be dated to the end of the 18th / beginning of the 19th century. Although Langness is quite flat, the rocky area on the east coast, when seen from the sea, can give the impression of (albeit low) cliffs. However, the above discussion concerning the first element seems uncertain. Kneen's 'cliff rock' seems tautologeous and -/- would not necessarily disappear as easily as would -dh-. In addition one cannot see Marstrander's hi- persisting until the 18th century.

As this river was also called Corna (ON kuern-á 'mill-river', qv), the name Cordeman, Marstrander adds (ibid.), can formally go back to kuerná(r)-hamarr 'height above the Coma, the Corna height', i.e. west of the river where the farm lies.

The element is found in PN, e.g. drang-ey 'rock island', dranga-vik 'rock creek'. Marstrander (NTS/VI: 129-30), however, suggests ON drags-vik, from ON drag 'place where something is dragged, a tongue of land over which a boat is drawn' [cf. ON draga 'drag'], explaining that drag was "a narrow ness between Dreswick and Bravag. In stormy weather the boats were obviously dragged over to Bravag from Dreswick, which lies uncommonly exposed to all sorts of weather".

Marstrander, however, offers 'road mountain, cross mountain' ON ràdutali from róda 'road' (cf. CV.502), i.e. it lies on a route between A and B. This notion is found also in Scottish PN, cf. Beimi Tarsuinn 'cross mountain' in the Isle of Arran. See also under Ballaterson 'cross farm' in Kirk German, Ballaugh, and Kirk Maughold.

RUSHEN AbTR Rushen LA 1540. • 'little promontory, wood, copse, site of an old cemetery, isthmus, peninsula, level tract of arable land' *Mx; G. roisean, dim. of ros, W. rhos. This element is very widespread in Brittonic and Goidelic place-names (cf. Gelling 1991, Broderick 1993). The original place this refers to is not certain. It is used in the designation of Rushen Abbey (in Malew), it is part of a parish name (Kirk Christ Rushen), and is the name for the whole sheading, embracing Malew in the east, Arbory in the centre, and Kirk Christ in the west. However, a recent reassessment of the original site of Rushen Abbey by Basil Megaw (Megaw 1999) suggests that that area of land between Castle Rushen and Scarlett, bounded on the east side by the sea, and on the west (earlier) by a large tract of mire (Ballalough), now drained, might be the original locus of the name Rushen, part of which still bears the name Knock Rushen ('hill of Rushen') (qv). For various reasons, mostly to do with the

165

Kirk Malew

development of Rushen Abbey, the name has achieved a wide distribution. The treen name Glen Rushen in the glen of the same name in Kirk Patrick, Megaw suggests (ibid: 262-63), may owe its origins to connections with Rushen Abbey, though there is no direct evidence to indicate this. In any event, the name can be explained without reference to Rushen Abbey, given the wide semantic field the term covers. RUSHEN ABBEY Arch.

Di.959). The second element, he suggests, could be ON kluft or klyft 'cleft'. Fellows-Jensen (pc. 2002) argues that the generic must be ON kluft, as evidenced in the Icelandic placename Kluftir, and suggests that later forms are perhaps influenced by the late Eng. word 'cleft' (earlier 'clyft'). Megaw (1999: 264) wishes to link this name with Carneclet (qv) and offers "partly Gaelicised" ON skarfa klettr 'shag rock', but with final stress to account for the early forms. However, the early forms in -owte, representing /-o(:)t/, /-u(:)t/, would suggest a development from an ending in -ft, where -/- has been vocalised. It cannot derive from -klett(r). Forms in -ett(e) would indicate final stress and a reduced form of -owte, though association with Mx. scarleod 'purple, crimson' cannot be ruled out. - SCARLETT QL (TR-Scarlette) [skailat] IG1991 Scarthlat M/D1595, Scarlett CRP1627, Scarlett LC1631/31, Scarlett LCB1643, Scarlett OD2(99) 1646, Scarlett LC 1699-1702/65, Scarlett LA 1703, Scarlett LCB1704, Scarlet OD2(13)1707, Scarlett OD2(52)1713, Scarlett 1725D01725(22), Scarlet 1725DM1726(55), Scarlett 1749DM1750(79), Scarlet M/F1789, Scarlett CS 1841-61, Scarlet CS1871, 1881, Scarlett CS1891, Scarlett LA1911, Scarlett.

The second element would remind one of shynnagh, G. sionnach, 'fox', but there is not one example of -agh to confirm this plausible hypothesis. Note also the presence of Cronk Shinnagh in the area. The alternative forms from 1703 onwards seem to be a shortening of the preceding and is certainly the source of Ronague.

A possibility for the second element could be G. sionn 'foxglove' w. dim. ending -ag, viz. àiridh (nan) *sionnag, which would give Aryshinnock -> Ronague.

A son of his was Archibald Cregeen, compiler of a ManxEnglish dictionary (Cregeen 1835), and in the preface (ibid: v) we learn that Cregeen's father was a cooper by trade, hence the above name. However, this may be pure coincidence. If this were the case, we would expect a rounded vowel in dhagh, viz. doagh, from the vocalisation of -bh- in G. dabhach. In addition to being a land measure (angl. 'davach') RLT reminds me that there are doachs in the Dee in Kirkcudbright, i.e. deep pools.

Marstrander (NTS/VI: 125-26) makes two suggestions, depending on the pronunciation (whether [eju:l] or [ekjuil]). If the former, he offers ON esiufjall 'mountain of soft stone, slate' from esja 'kind of clay' (CV.134). If the latter, then perhaps ekju-fjall 'cart-track mountain' from ekja 'a carting, carrying in a cart' (CV.124).

However, this seems a bit far-fetched, as ON hóran f. is a term used for Lat. adulterio and fornicatio

in ecclesiastical

sources and not a general word for a loose woman. Kneen's suggestion is more likely, as Sherlock could have a variant form Sharlock, and the len. form Harlock is not too far away from Harlot.

Marstrander (NTS/VI: 101-02) accepts this as a possibility, but offers also ON krók-nes 'crooked ness, promontory', given its indented coastline. The treen name (see Croknesse below) indicates that krók-nes is the better suggestion. The Mx. pron. has final stress, as in Agneash in Kirk Lonan (PNIM/IV: 217-18), w. palatalisation of final -s in both cases, as is to be expected during the process of gaelicisation.

Marstrander (NTS/VI: 114-15), however, is unhappy with this, as ON skardr would give something like * [skara] in Mx; cf. ON gardr -> Mx. garey [g£xa]. Instead he offers ON short ' mountain cleft, split', though the geography is against him here. In addition, he notes that short does not form a single farm name in Scandinavia, but that instances of shardr are numerous. M. concludes that shard came into Man when Μχ.θ died out, e.g. during the 13th century or later. By that date it would likely have come from Northern England.

PN, so far as I am aware, though that in itself does not disqualify it Perhaps we should link the first element here with that in Slegaby in Kirk Conchan (PNIM/IV: 416), namely ON slakki 'depression in a mountain slope or between two heights', viz. slakka-berg, w. l-k-l becoming l-g-l intervocally and, as with Slegaby, the l-g-l becoming affricated later. However, this is the awkward aspect of it, as the cases of -g- repr. [d3] are rare in Mx. Perhaps we should be looking for an etymon in -t/d-, not -tdg. It is unfortunate that the evidence is scanty.

The long -a- in the pronunciations (below) is secondary. When seen from the north-west Irish Sea area (i.e. coming from the Hebrides (associated with Man during the Scandinavian period, 9th-13th centuries)), the Calf of Man looks like a calf following behind the 'cow' of the main island of Man (cf. also Nicolaisen 1976: 97). In Scottish Gaelic tradition the Calf is known as an earrag Mhanainneach 'the Manx pullet' (pc. Morag MacLeod, School of Scottish Studies, University of Edinburgh, 1974).

At north-west comer of Calf. • The Manx historian Joseph Train notes (Train 1845: 335) that "[...] the only remains of any building of antiquity now to be observed in the islet, is the ruins called 'Bushel's house', situated on the highest part, and within a few yards of a rugged cliff overhanging the sea. The entrance to it is narrow, and the place appears to have had only one small room and a closet, scarcely sufficient to hold a bed". It was occupied by a certain Thomas Bushel (15941674), a close associate of the English Lord Chancellor Sir Francis Bacon. Bushel became a recluse on the Calf 1626-29 to escape possible charges of debt. He apparently lived a full life as a courtier, hermit, silk-dyer, soapmaker, mining engineer, mint-master, soldier, author and debtor. He died in 1674 and is evidently buried in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey.

'cold', a development peculiar to Engl, among the Germanic languages. From this point of view Kneen's suggestion seems preferable. D DUGGILL Duggill CRM 1898, Duggill CREF1898 ct. 8314 SC 1666.

Appendix A

BOUNDARIES OF THE LANDS OF THE MONKS OF RUSHEN (f.53r) This is the dividing line between the king's land and that of the monks of Rushen. (It starts) from the wall and ditch which is between Villa Castelli and the monks' land and it bends to the south between the monks' meadow and Villa Mac Akoen and ascends by the stream between Bylozen and the land of the same monks, and it inclines up as far as Hentre\ and it circles the same Hentre estate anàTrollatofthar by the wall and ditch and descends by the same wall and ditch into the river near Oxwath, and ascends by the same river to the stream between Aryeuzryn and Staynarhea and ascends up as far as the valley which is called Fane, and ascends the slope of the mountain which is called Worzefel and descends to the stream which is called Mouru. And it ascends from the stream Mouro (f.53v) along the old wall by Rozefel and descends by the same wall between Cornama aaàTotmanby, and descends by the same wall diagonally between Oxrayzer and Totmanby as far as the river which is called Corna. Corna is the boundary of the king's land and that of the monks from that part right up to the ford which is crossed by the public road between Villa Thorkel, which is called by the other name Kyrkemychel, and Herynstaze\ and it ascends by the wall which is the boundary between the same Villa Thorkel and Balesalazc, and descends diagonally by the same wall between Cros-yvor.Byulthan and in this way it circles Balesalazc, and descends from Balesalach by the wall and ditch into the Rushen river, as it is known to the locals, and descends by the bank of the same river in different directions and by the stream which is between baligil and conisakir as far as the sea in the middle of Sandawyk, and by the sea as far as half-way across the Castle river with wreck, waif and toll as is contained in the charter (f.54r) as far as the aforesaid ditch and wall which is between the territory of the monks and the land of the same Castle Rushen.
