Perhaps, but the Irish word Lough comes from the Scottish word loch. Dictionary says: A lough is a body of water and is either: a.. a lake b.. a sea lough, which may be a fjord, estuary, bay or sea inlet. c.. The idea that a body of water could be indicated is nearly inescapable.

Hi Don -- Do you (or other listers) have anything on "clough"? (Perhaps that was what Anne was referring to? ) My sister and I stayed in a B&B near a little town outside of Limerick city that ended in clough for part of our 2006 vacation. We never did get the pronunciation right, but the clough ending was said with greater emphasis, to our ears. Our month in Ireland that summer was absolutely magical!

I know -but clough is likely to derive from the Irish word cloch meaning a stone .I was just indicating that the question should be kept open . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donal O'Kelly" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 4:46 PM Subject: Re: [IRELAND] Killnaulough or Killnaclough - still can't find it! > Perhaps, but the Irish word Lough comes from the Scottish word loch. > Dictionary says: > A lough is a body of water and is either: > > a.. a lake > b.. a sea lough, which may be a fjord, estuary, bay or sea inlet. > c.. > The idea that a body of water could be indicated is nearly inescapable. > > Thank you > > donkelly > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Anne Phelan" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 7:52 AM > Subject: Re: [IRELAND] Killnaulough or Killnaclough - still can't find it! > > >> Not necc- It could also mean the chruch of stone or stont wooded area . >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Donal O'Kelly" <[email protected]> >> To: <[email protected]> >> Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 6:17 AM >> Subject: Re: [IRELAND] Killnaulough or Killnaclough - still can't find >> it! >> >> >>> It just hit me that the end of the word means lake or bay.
