    Ainmfhocal firinscneach é bláth. Dá bharr sin:

    Béal an Bhlátha (más bláth amháin atá i gceist), nó
    Béal na mBláthanna (más bláthanna atá i gceist).

    Michael Collins atá i gceist, i ndáiríre, agus an áit ina chailltear é.

    Sa nua-ghaeilge, tá an focal "bláth" sa 3ú díochlaonadh. Faigh cóip de Dhinneen, áfach, agus tabharfaidh tú faoi deara go raibh "bláth" sa chéad díochlaonadh fadó.

    m.s.

    Ginideach Uatha:
    Béal an bhláith

    Ginideach Iolra:
    Béal na mbláth

    Ach an méid sin ráite, is minic nach mbíonn gramadach na logainmneacha ró-chruinn* agus tá an dá leagan feicthe agam (Béal na Bláth agus Béal na mBláth).

    Is fearr liom an dara ceann.

    *Chonaic mé an litir seo san Irish Times cúpla mí ó shin. Tá áit éigin i mBAC agus Peamont an t-ainm atá uirthi. B'é an t-aistriúchán a dhéanadh uirthi ná "Ard na Pise". Faraoir, is ionann "pea" (pis) agus "vulva" sa Ghaeilge smile.gif

    Ah yes, road signs. Bhí mo dhrifiúir thart cúpla mhí ó shin agus chuir sé ceist orm faoi Nás na Rí ("An Nás" anois), agus ["Rud Éigin"] na Cleite (Tyrrelspass), "Pás Tyrrell" nó rud éigin mar sin anois.

    An dochtuir will be pleased to know that Peamount is itself a wonky rendition of Piedmont - literally - the foot of the mountain, perhaps Cos Sleibhe would be the better, if less exciting, Irish name.
    Not the barbarian
