[Note]
Please state the reason why the
diminutive is adopted here instead
of the Primary form as given by all
the authorities. A question may perhaps
somtime arise and it would be well to know
the reason why.
Merely from the Consideration of
the object being small and also the
Signification of the name given by
the Examiner in his "Description".
"Lochan" would still be called "a loch"
in English, diminutive being understood.
