Avonbridge

Thank you for your edit to Avonbridge. However, I've reverted it. You may be right about Abhainne/Aibhne, but have you read the footnote that goes with the Gaelic name? It says that the place isn't included by Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba but that Drochaid Abhainne is the name used in Uicipeid. Your edit stops the footnote from making sense, and you don't give a source for your version. Until I see some evidence that Uicipeid is wrong, I'm going to go along with them. I've done a lot of cleaning up of spurious Gaelic place names here, so I'm prepared to believe that you may be right, but we need authoritative sources.

Thank you for your work. It turns out i was wrong too.

Abhainne is not a word. The entry in Am Faclair Beag is:

abhainn /a.ɪNʲ/

boir. _feminine gin. _genitive aibhne iol. _plural aibhnichean

river, stream

However, Avonbridge is not, as i said, Drochaid Aibhne (River's Bridge) , but Drochaid na h-Aibhne (The River's Bridge) in analogy with Avonbridge, Stirlingshire Drochaid na h-Aibhne

i hope this is a sufficient source

i guess now I've to fix all the other wiki's to Drochaid na h-Aibhe, oops Neach-aramach (sgwrs) 00:49, 3 Mawrth 2023 (UTC)

Thanks about the heads-up on Am Faclair Beag. In fact it includes Avonbridge as a placename.

Drochaid na h-Aibhne

Avonbridge (Stirlg)

Admittedly the location is Stirling rather than Falkirk, although I can't locate an Avonbridge in Stirling. Anyway, this is a good enough source to be going on with. I'll fix up the article when I have a moment, and check other dubious ones against Am Faclair Beag. Craigysgafn (sgwrs) 09:53, 3 Mawrth 2023 (UTC)
