[Pencil note pertaining to the name "ALLT AN LOCHAN IAIN" in the List of Names column]
Allt Lochan Iain
As J is not a Gaelic letter
would it not be better use the
letter I instead _ See List of names
in Armstrong's Dictionary
The word is always pronounced
Iain not Jain
[Pencil note pointing to the name "ALLT AN LOCHAN IAIN" in the List of Names column]
here is a noun in the gen. [genitive] sing. [singular]
which is contrary to the usage better followed on the Survey
It would be better to write the name as given by the authorities
that is Allt Lochan Iain
[Pencil note pointing to the letter "I" in th name "LOCHAN IAIN" in the List of Names column]
I not J In Macleod & Dewar's Dictionary the name is spelled Jain but this incorrect
The J is evidently a misprint in
McLeod & Dewar's dictionary.
