"Caorruean" Mountain ash
"Achaidh" A plain, meadow &c
Note when two or more nouns not signifing the same person or thing are goverened by a
preceding noun, the last only is generally put in the genitive, as, "Tigh nighean Thòmais"
or if the two latter be taken as the proper name of a place then the first part of the compounded suffers inflection
[Note under Caorunn Achaidh Burn:]
Caorrunn Achaidh Burn
or Caorrunn-achaidh Burn
The plu. [plural] of Caorrunn seems be here supposed
but the plur. [plural] form is Caorruinean, and is seldom
used, - but it is to be observed that the Gaelic
like the English Rowan-tree Field uses the
in same manner the sing. [singular] Caorrunn Achaidh.
The pronunciation as given by the authorities shews the spelling that ought to be used

Abhainn, A river
