Derovation of "clurichaun" — meaning of clobhair-ceann?
Nicholas O'Kearney in Feis Tithe Chonáin (1855) describes the Irish origin of "clurichaun" as clobhair-ceann. Does clobhair means "clover"? Does clobhair-ceann, therefore, mean "clover head"? I cannot verify the meaning and have omitted it from the article, but raise the question here to see what happens. I observe that Cloverpark in County Galway is nowadays rendered in Irish as Páirc na Seamar but was registered during the 19th century by John O'Donovan in his Ordnance Survey Name Books as Páirc a' Clobhair, suggesting that clobhair means clover, however, the word is not found at Focloir.ie. — O'Dea (talk) 07:07, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
