Transcriber's notes

The word after "Signification" in Description remarks for "Cafuam" is too faint to be legible. It appears that missing word may end with "lump" but the first part is just not legible enough to complete any guess. Neither Gaelic dictionaries nor Google offer any translation for the word "cafuam".
