; 148 ETYMOLOGIES OF THE ISLANDS. Animals are a frequent source of these names, and among- them there are both Scandinavian and Gaelic etymologies. In the first, are the following : Soa, the isle of swine Raasay; from Raa, of roes Tirey; Tiur, of bulls Jura; Diur, of deer Canna; —— Kanin, of rabbits ; ; ; Orsa,Oersa, ^ Eorsa j ' j^j ^ j^ Ulva Haversey ; UlfFur, —— Hafur, wolves he goats LevenishjfromLava nish, birds Calva, Calve, or Calf, a common Norwegian name, found in Mull and Mann, is not named exactly from the animal, but from being related to the main island as the Calf is to the Cow, or as St. Margaret's is to Westminster Abbey. Cara, Kyr ey, the island of Cows, and Handa, Hind ey, that of Hinds, appear rather possible than certain. In the Gaelic, there are, from the same source: Bona; ron, the isle of seals Ensay coin of birds MuUagroch, Mul grach or graidh, a stud of horses Inish Capel Eilan an each Tanera ; tan. Muck ; muc, the isle of mares of horses of the herd of swine Whether Eilan na Monach, na Clearach, and Inch Cailleach, the Isles of Monks, Clergy, and Nuns, are to be adopted in this division, under Muc, or in that of the Saints, I do not pretend to determine. Trodda, from the Scandi- navian Trolds, may be put in the same ambiguous company. Names derived from qualities, or resemblances, or comparisons, are the most common of all, and they oc- cur in both languages. In the Scandinavian there are the following: Sky; the flat island a plate a division:divided a shore sour a leaf :leafy;grassy a carcase : a burying place to grow : fertile a toe : a headland a hole : a cavern meal: fertile ice island rapine : thieves' island The last eleven seem rather probable, but are not so
ETYMOLOGIES OF THE ISLANDS. 149 clear as the former: they are all from the Icelandic. Eriska seems a corruption of Erics ey. Ailsa is simi- larly an apparent corruption of Hellesa; peculiarly ap- propriate. Isla is The island, y.ar' l^oxftvi as a principal seat of g-overnment. Arran ; In the same class the Gaelic has the following:
