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 landnâm 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). 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

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

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, Tübingen, 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 ofAyre, September 1999 Vol. 4 Sheading ofGarff. Work on Vol. 5 Sheading of Middle was completed in April 2000. 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 donations 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). In July 1998 financial assistance towards Vol. 5 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 Braddan ten treens, Marown eight, and Santan nine), 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 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: 173-

xii

Introduction

82, 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 averaging 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,

Introduction

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, with the exception of Rushen Abbey property in Kirk Malew, no treen organisation has apparently 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). 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 (Traditionary) Ballad (ca. 1500) that St. German built a small chapel (keeill) in every treen

Introduction

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 cantref [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 quarteriand 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), 4.1.2. Register of the Priory of St. Bees (Latin; containing charters ca. 11541321 regarding land in Maughold), 1

For this name see PNIM/IV: 20. XV

Introduction

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. the Appyn Charter (Latin; land grant of 1376/77 concerning land in Glenfaba), 4.1.7. Sheading Court Roll (English) 1417/18, 4.1.8. Garrison Inquest Roll (English; relating to Castles Rushen and Peel) 1428, 4.1.9. (though properly 16th-cent.) the "forged" Papal Bull of 1231 (ca. 1580-1600; Latin, concerning various church lands throughout the Island). 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 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

Introduction

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 LCB1704, the year of the Act of Settlement. LCB1704, 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, but no treen or intack names (cf. above). 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 1681. 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 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-Manxspeaking 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 Peel.

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

Introduction

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. 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

Introduction

(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. 6. 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 (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, vegetation and environment., etc. The Gaelic common elements found include the following: aa, aah 'ford' G. áth. aaie, aiee 'kiln' Ir. dith.

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 noimally employ a definite article, cf. Brooke in Leicestershire and Norfolk (OE bröc), 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., fem., 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.

XX v i

Introduction

ben 'woman', or marked as fern, in nominal phrases, e.g. fud ny hoie 'throughout the night', cf. 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 (a-stem) (cf. also §6. above). Mx. Ihiargee 'hillside, hillslope' Oír. lerg, lergach (α-stem), d. lergaige (idstem). Mx. moanee 'bog, peat-moss, turf turbary' Oír. móin, d. mónai (/-stem). 7.2. Singular article + oríg. masc. noun Niarbyl 'the tail' PA, Mx. yn arbyl, G. an t-earball, or possibly old locative i n-earbaü. Inclose 'the enclosure' BA, Mx. yn close, Ir. an clós. Υ η Elian 'the island' AN, Mx. ibid., ScG. 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', G. an t-éan\ Mx. yn ellan, ScG. 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', cf. G. an cnoc. The Garey 'the garden, enclosure', cf. ScG. gàradh, d. gàraidh (< ON). The Close 'the enclosure' cf. Ir. clós (< MedL clausus).

Introduction

The Inclose 'the enclosure' (w. Mx. def. art. agglutinated) 7.3. Singular article + orig. fem. noun Neary 'the shieling' PA, Mx. yn eary Ir. an àirghe, ScG. an àiridh. With Eng. def. art: the Eary, the Neary (w. Mx. def. art. agglutinated). Naaie 'the homefield' Mx. yn aaie, Ir. an fliaithche, ScG. anfliaiche. With Eng. def. art. The Naaie (w. Mx. def. art. agglutinated). The Creg 'the rock' GE, cf. 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. IkI, /g/, Idi, 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' [tjilagax] BA, cf. ScG. seileach, *art t-seileagach. This also applies to the preposed adjective shenn 'old', Ir. sean, ScG. seann when qualifying an orig. fem. noun. See also §7.8. yn chenn reinnagh MI 'the old bracken area' G. an t-sean raithneach. yn chenn chroit BA 'the old croft', G. an t-sean chroit. 7.4. Original masc. noun + adjective Cronk Bane 'white hill' GE, Ir. cnoc bán. 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 bhán) Cronk Vooar 'big hill' PA (cnoc mhóf)

xxviii

Introduction

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, G. creag bheag. Leaney Vroagh 'dirty meadow' BA, G. leona bhróghach. Bwoillee ghooh 'black fold' BA, G. 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. Failure of lenition in initial Idi, Igl, Ikl, ΙΐΙ, 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. [d h ], [th] and not [γ], or [h] (or palatalised variants), as in Gaelic orthography. However, they are very irregular in occurrence.

Introduction

7.6. Singular article + orig. masc. noun + adjective The Cronk Mooar 'the big hill', cf. G. an cnoc mór. w. Eng. def. art. 7.7. Singular article + orig. fem. noun + adjective Nary vore 'the big shieling' GE, ScG. an àiridh mhór. y Nhaai ghorrym 'the blue flatt' BA, Ir. anfliaithche ghorm. E Nay Voare 'the big flatt* JU, Ir. an ftiaidhche mhór. With failure/absence of lenition in the adjective: Nary Glass 'the green shieling' GE, Mx. yn eary glass, cf. ScG. an àiridh ghlas (here w. len. in adj.). 7.8. Adjective + noun Shenn valley 'old farm' GE (sean bhailé). 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'. Proposed 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 [t!1], 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.

Introduction

7.8.1. Nominal prefix + noun Corvalley 'conical hill/edge/hollow, isolated farm' MR, cf. Ir. corr-bhaile. 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, correan sometimes appear following its noun, cf. Ballacoar (G. baile + con) LO. 7.9. Article + adjective + noun The Shennvalley 'the old farm' GE, w. Eng. def. art. 7.10. Original masc. noun + orig. g. sg. of noun Strooan bayr lieau 'mountain road stream' PA, cf. G. sruthan + bothar shléibhe. Here the constituent bayr lieau qualifies strooan (cf. §7.4. above). Tallow Gienee 'sandy land' BA, G. talamh gainich (though talamh can also be treated as fem. cf. Di. 1166). 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 fem. noun + orig. g.sg. of noun Earylieau 'mountain shieling' GE, Ir. áirghe shléibhe. Bwoaillee lieau 'mountain fold' PA, Ir. buaile shléibhe. Irish readers will be acquainted with the spelling slew for the early examples of the name exported to Scotland. Leinee Cregie 'rock meadow' JU, G. léanaidh creige. 7.12. Noun + ylyn + orig. masc. genitive singular Cronk y Voddy 'hill of the churl' GE, Ir. cnoc an bhodaigh, n/a bodach. 'hill of the dog'

ScG. cnoc a' mhadaidh, n/a madadh.

Cul y Vullee 'behind the summit' JU, Ir. cól an mhullaigh, nlamullach.

Introduction

Here in orig. o-stems the g.sg. is formed by palatalisation of the final consonant. Gob yn Ushtey 'point of the water(fall)' PA, Ir.gob an uisce. With failure of lenition: Gob E Glionney 'mouth of the glen' GE, Mx. gob y g(h)lionney, w. orig. /γ'/ delenited (and depalatalised) to /g/, cf. Ir. gob an ghleanna. With orig. /γ'/ disappearing altogether (in a variant of the same name): Lheney Gob e Lhenney 'meadow by/at the mouth of the glen' GE, Mx. Iheeannee gob y g(h)lionney Normally initial/in Mx. in a dep. g. resists lenition, under which it would disappear. Cronk y Freoaie 'hill of the heather' PA, cf. ScG. cnoc a' fhraoich. However, it is occasionally found. Cro ny ree 'pen of/by the heather* MI, cf. Ir. eró an fliraoich. (for ny for yn, cf. §7.13.1. below) 7.12.1. Noun + y/yn + orig. masc. genitive singular + qual. adj. Croit y Voddee Vrick 'croft of the speckled otter, mastiff AN, ScG. croit a' mhadaidh bhric. Here we see not only g. inflection in the depedendent substantive (i.e. len. of init. consonant after masc. g. def. art. and palat. of final consonant), but also in the qualifying adjective, i.e. G. n/a breac, g. bhric. This combination is rare even in PN. 7.13. Noun + ny + orig. fem. genitive singular (+/- qualifier) Gob ny Beinney 'point of the mountain* PA, G. gob na beinne. Close ny Haa 'enclosure of the ford ' GE, G. clós na h-átha. Cronk ny Bingagh 'hill of the jury' GE (cnoc na binneach). Cronk ny Killagh 'hill of the chapel' GE (cnoc na cilleach). Latter two w. "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.

Here mullach, a noun, is used as an adj. to qualify a fem. noun in genit. position. Garey ny Hary Biggy 'garden of/by the little shieling' LE (gàradh na h-àiridh bigé), w. inflection in the g.sg.fem. of the qual. adj. beag 'little*. 7.13.1. "Abuse" of g. fem. sg. ny for g. mase,

sg.ylyn

Cronk ny Fasney 'hill of the winnowing' GE, G. enoe an fliasgnaidh. Creg ny vraane 'rock of the quern' PA (creag an bhróin). Mx. fasney, ScG. fasgnadh 'act of winnowing' (orig. w-stem) reflects o-stem declension and in the g.sg. after the def. art. lenition plus palatalisation of the final consonant, viz. ScG. an fhasgnaidh, 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'

(duine-molaidh), otherwise no inflection takes place (cf. Broderick 1991: 7677). 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 (crtoc na fasgnadh) would be felt to be in order. Also Cronk yn Asney would have suggested '...of the rib', an additional motive for non-lenition. On the other hand Cronk-fasnee (like Eng. Millinghill) without article as quasi-adjective, might have been admissible. Gob ny clieu 'point of the mountain' PA, G. gob an t-sléibhe. Note that G. g. sg. t-sl- (tl- of EMx.) has become cl- in later Manx, e.g. G. ar an t-sliabh 'on the mountain', Mx. er y clieau.

Double plural Brooinyn glassey 'green banks' BA, cf. ScG. bruachan glasa.

Magher ny claghyn baney 'field of the white stones' PA, BR, cf. ScG. machair na clachan bàtta. Gob ny Creggyn Glassey 'point of the grey rocks' MI, ScG. 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, cf. Ir. creag na ron w. preocclusion (cf. §7.21. below). Creg yn ean 'rock of the birds' PA, Mx. creg nyn eon, cf. Ir. creag na n-éan

Introduction

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, Ir. CillPhádraig. Keeill Voirrey '(St.) Mary's Church' GE, Ir. CillMhuire. Croit yoan E Corns 'John Corns' s croft' PA. 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. CregTim '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/, l\l > /hi or Iii > 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 not to be a "foreign" name, whereas Tim may have been. 7.19. Noun + g.sg. of orig. Ó Surname Ballagarraghan Ό Dorghan's farm' GE, Ir. Baile UíDhorcháin w. orig. dh- (/γ/) falsely delenited to /g/. 7.20. Noun + g.sg. of orig. Mac surname Ballakaighin 'Kaighin's farm' GE, ScG.

Introduction

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, G. baile Shiomain Ballacrebbin 'Robin's farm' AN, G. baile 'icRaibin Ballaleece 'Leece's farm' GE, G. baile 'ic Giolla losa.

Preocclusion

In Manx original long syllables in stressed monosyllables or disyllables exhibiting final stress ending in (in may cases original fortis) III, Imi, In!, lr¡/ can in their articulation be accompanied by their corresponding preocclusive, viz. [dl], [bm], [dn], [gij] Mx. keeill 'church' [ki:l], [kidl]; trome 'heavy' [tro:m], [tro(:)bm]; bane 'white' [be:n], [be(:)dn]; Ihong 'ship' [log], [logg] (cf. also HLSM/III: 28-34). The preocclusion tends to shorten original long syllables. In place-names, so far as our evidence goes, this manifests itself in stressed monosyllables ending in Ini and I gl. Creg a luggan *[kregalQgg] 'rock of the ship' PA, Mx. creg y Ihong, G. creag + an long. Creg a ruddyn *[kreg3'rpdn] 'rock of the seals' PA, Mx. creg ny raun., G. creag na rón. Mullagh Vedn [molaxVedn] 'white summit' PA, Mx. mullagh b/vane, G. mullach ban. 7.22. Medial and final /sk/ in Ir/ScG. becoming /st/ in Manx; 7.22.1.

Centralising of stressed vowels in the environment of Ir/ 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/, /m/, Ini, III, Is, s'/, /χ/; cf. HLSM/III: 44-48), with or without loss of hi. Ballargey PA [bslenga], G. baile na leirge. Doarlish Ard PA [dD(:)li|"0:d], cf. ScG. doirling + ard. Faaie oarn MR [fù'ercn], [fi:a:n], G. 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, 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,

Introduction

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 LCB1703. This in fact is an imperfect copy of LCB1704 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 after 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 the present-day situation. 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 the Mx. position. The appearance of Gaelic equivalents does not mean that these necessarily 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).

Introduction

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 G. (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), lhargey 'hillslope' (G. learga), and Iheeanney 'meadow' (G. léaná), 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.

'Botti's, Botólfr's stone'. In addition, Marstrander

{ibid.) notes that Bawshen "lies in a depression or fold in the turn between the steep Greeba cliff on the west and lower and lower heights in the east which is where the rise begins in earnest towards Slieau Ruy, which closes off the depression in the background. It runs up 900 ft. in three-quarters of an English mile from Boshen to the top of the mountain". Given this he suggests ON botn-steinn 'bottom stone', i.e. in the innermost or top part of a little round valley, which is the case here. The development would be: [botnasten] -> [botstan] -> [botjan] -> [bo/an]; the [o:] is modern (1803, 1861). See also Boshen in Kirk Maughold (PNIM/IV: 67). FN: Lhieney rhunt (adj.

MEARE TR Meare LA 1511-1577, Meary LA 1593-1622, Meare LA 1643, Meary LA1665-1870, Mearey LA1911. • Uncertain. This treen comprises the area south of Bainahowe towards, but not including Glen Grenaugh, but takes in Santan Head. It embraces the two farms of Meary Veg and Meary Vooar (qv). Kneen (JJK145), quoting Moore (1890b), offers Sc. mœri 'border land', OE mœre, as a possibility, though there is no obvious boundary to which Meary is party, though this is not a fatal objection. Marstrander (NTS/VI: 151-52), after much ruminating, suggests that the Meary may takes its name from the river running through the middle of the parish, down through Glen Grenaugh and out into the sea at Port Grenaugh, that this may have borne the ON name mid-á 'middle, half way river', with ON middr-heidr 'mid-river, Midá Heath' as the district name to the east.
