3. An tArd Donn: 'Cnoc beag' n6 'ardan' ata i gceist leis an mhir ard i logainmneacha an cheantair. Cnoc beag maol ar bhruach Loch ata san Ard Donne tein. Arduns a bhfonn sa Bhearla i gc6naf air. Bfonn Na hArda Donna le cluinstin corruair sa Ghaeilge ach nil sa leagan seo ach aithris ar an Bhearla. Ta an rud ceanna le ra fa leagan Sheain Uf Dhonnabhain in Ainmleabhar na Suirbheireachta Ordanais, Ard Duna 'high forts'. An tArd Donn, (bealach) an Aird Doinn an rud is coitianta sa chaint. 4. Ard na gCeapairi: 'Hill of the buttercakes' an mfniu a bheir Sean 0 Donnabhain ar an ainm seo, rud ata ag teacht le seanchas na haite: 'nuair a bhfodh siad ag buachailleacht thfos fan chladach i bhfad 6 shoin ba ghnach leofa theacht le cheile ar an ard sin lena gcuid ceapairf a ithe'. Thfos ag t6in an bhaile fearainn idir Machaire Chlochair agus Machaire Gathlain ata an t-ard. 5. Bun an Leaca: Is e an leagan Bearla an rud is suimiula fa dtaobh den ainm seo. Brinlack a scrfobhtar i dt61amh agus ta se suimiuil an d6igh a mbftear ag iarraidh an chead chuid brin a mhfniu mar Ghaeilge. Ach ta an leagan Bearla seo bunaithe ar earraid chl6 ar chairt farraige MacKenzie 1776, an chead thagairt don ait ata againn. De reir cosulachta, is e an rud a tharla gur leadh u ar phlata capair mar -ri– bun os cionn rud a bheadh iontach furast a dheanamh. Ar scor ar bith lean an tSuirbheireacht Ordanais agus Oifig an Phoist an earraid agus ta se buanaithe sa Bhearla 6 shoin. Ach is e Bun-leaca an leagan Gaeilge a bhf ag Sean 0 Donnabhain agus is e Bun a leaca a bhfos sa chaint i dt61amh. Ta fianaise laidir againn mar sin gurb e Bun an leaca an rud ceart. 'Taobh. cnoic' an chiall ata le leaca agus ta se firinscneach anseo mar a bhfonn go minic i dTir Chonaill. Mar shampla, ta loch an leaca ann, idir Min Chorrbhaic agus Loch Achair. Is ionann e agus leacain ata measartha coitianta i logainmneacha ar fud na tire. . 6. An Bun Beag: Bun na hAbhna a bheirtear ar an cheantar thart ar bhun abhainn na Claideadh agus is e sin an bun ata i gceist san ain.m. Bhf dha bhun ann is cosuil, ceann beag agus ceann m6r. Bun Ghaoth Dobhair a bhf ar an cheann mh6r is cosuil, idir lnis Sionnaigh agus An Pointe, an ait a dteadh An Gaoth i bhfarraige sular bhris an An Caineal amach idir lnis Sionnaigh agus an tfr. Maireann an t-ainm sa logainm Oilean Shun Ghaoth Dobhair. Nil ach 65 acra i mbaile fearainn an Bhuna Bhig agus ta se ar an cheann is lu sa phar6iste. An ait a dtabhrann siad An Bun Beag air sa la ata inniu ann, is e sin thart ar an Chroisbhealach, is i mbaile fearainn Mhachaire Chlochair ata se sin. Sampla eile de leathnu logainm. 7. An Charraig: Luaitear mar Carrig e i Suirbhe Chuige Uladh (1608). Ta an mhir carraig iontach coitianta i logainmneacha na tire, mar shampla, Carraig an tSeascainn i mbaile fearainn Machaire Gathlain. Nfl deacracht ar bith leis an 6 thaobh ceille de. 8. Cnoc na Stollaire: ·n cupla ciall leis an fhocal stollaire sa chaint: 'duine m6r, go hairid, cailfn m6r gan m6ran maith' an mfniu is coitianta.
