Thread Name: Lyr Add: Cnocainin Aerach Cill Mhuire (Kilmurry)
Subject: RE: Ar Chnocainin Aerach Chill Mhuire (Kilmurry)
you could call the song "ar chnocáinín aerach ..." but "chnocáinín aerach" without a preceding preposition wouldnt be right. If Cill is lenited it would be because of being in genitive case, little hill OF Cill Mhuire.
example "coill Chill Mhuire" Kilmurry/Cill Mhuire wood , "Contae Chill Dara", County kildare/Cill Dara
