[Notes under Duch Lochain:]
"Dubh Lochain". Black Lochs.
An Adjective prefixed to its substantive
is indeclinable except aspiration.
The nom. plur. [nominative plural] of the diminutive
Lochan is made two ways i.e.
Lochanan or Lochain. I prefer
the latter form in this case
as it is like what is given by the
Authorities
[Note under Lochan Sìthein Duibh:]
Here
"Lochan Sìthein Duibh."* Black Hill Loch.
*The Aspirates in these exceptional cases are unnecessary.
[Initialled] R.H.
[Note under Linn' a' Choin Duibh:]
(1) "Linne Coin Duibh."* Black Dog's Pool.
(2) "Linn' a' Choin Duibh". The Black Dog's Pool.
(3) "Linne Chon Dubha". Black Dogs' Pool.
Of these, The (2) has been chosen.
[Initialled] R.H.
