[Notes under Leacana Bhàn:]
Leachdann, - Shelving ground
Bhàn, White, fair
Baine, Whiteness -
Bàn - white being an adjective cannot be correctly used substantively
neither can it be made a noun mas. [masculine] as above. - But Bàine i.e. Whiteness, paleness, fairness
is properly the noun derived from Bàn as Whiteness is derived from white
Note, Although an idea may be expressed in vulgar form Would it not be better to express it correctly, especially
when a slight change will do it?
