A Char:;., I sec in the last issue of "Guth 7 Tuairim" that John Deegan is concerned and posslbly annoyed by the way I spell the Gaelic (Irish) version of Cruckakeehan i.e. ·Cnoc A Caothainn. As I do not keep a copy of my notes I cannot say whether. I spelt i~ with a "t" or a "c" but it did appear w~th a "t" ln the paper several times a.ri.d I am sorry if I offended John as 11 Caochain" is the proper spelling. Ho.rever, I am slo\rer to agree that "Caoch~" or the Tuiseal Geinideach 11 Caochain 11 has anyth~ng to do yith a bird as John suggests. If he takes the trouble to look up the Irish.£nglish dictionary compiled by a very famous Loch an ~uir man (who ~s himself married to a Cnoc a Caochaln woman) he 'W~ll find that he translates the yord Caochan/Caochain as follo~1s~- (1) purblind creature (2) marsh rill -– boghole. Nov if he wants to go further and look up the English diction~- he will discover that ''purblind" r.tean3 11 dimsighted 11 or "obtuse". And a~ain in the same english dictionary "obtuse" means (l) not sharp or pointed (2) greater than -right angle (3) stupid. Therefore I would venture to say that John's townland means the Hill or cnoc "not sharp o.~ pointed (m'l.oidmoc). . I can't for the life of me see any connectlon between caochan and a bird unless it is the purblind creature but this of course could refer to any creature' and again I do not knovr of many dimsighted birds except the bat. I may of course be wrong in this. Ferhaos John would give me the "~Jl." english name- or is he just a Gaeltacht bird --a true Gael?. noyever I am no authority on "logainrneacha" ancl I do not wish to enter into any controversy about any placenP.llle. I do congratulate John on his ver~r nice poem on the disgraceful dunp at Ailt Roise ~:ic Aoidh(is this what Cnoc a Caochai_n people called the J:lace as well?) and his very fine and hunourous cartoons. Keep up the good work Jor~ yhether we agree on the Cnoc a Caochain name or not. By the way you will notice I am spelling it your way n01.1, i.e. Caochain. Faces rase le meas, An Bacach.
