Ach le filleadh ar na hainmneacha sin, uair amh\u00e1in eile, bh\u00ed m\u00e9 ag ceapadh, n\u00e1rbh olc an smaoineamh \u00e9, an dealbh seo a bhaisteadh as eachtra ch\u00e1ili\u00fail, n\u00e1isi\u00fanta, eic\u00ednt, eachtra a tharla i gc\u00fainne ar bith den t\u00edr \u00e1lainn seo. Nach mbeadh daoine ann, a thiocfadh le hainm, cos\u00fail le, \u201cP\u00edce N\u00f3cha hOcht\u201d. Agus t\u00e1 m\u00e9 cinnte, go mbeadh daoine ann, a dtaitneodh an t-ainm \u201cAn Crann Cruach\u201d leo. N\u00f3 d\u2019fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 crann a thabhairt ar an ndealbh seo, agus nach bhfuil s\u00e9 d\u00e9anta as cruach dhomheirgthe? Sea, taitn\u00edonn an t-ainm sin liom, agus bhronnfainn duais air, d\u00e1 mbeadh ar mo chumas sin a dh\u00e9anamh !!! <\/p>

Ach n\u00edl sa mh\u00e9id sin ach an t\u00fas, n\u00f3 t\u00e1 ualach asail d\u2019ainmneacha oiri\u00fanacha eile, anseo \u00e1it eic\u00ednt i gc\u00fal mo chuimhne agam.<\/p>

Geallaimse dhuit \u00e9, go mbainfeadh cupla bliain ag gabh\u00e1il don dr\u00e9imire sin, an teasbach as, gan aon ag\u00f3 ar domhan!<\/p>

Ar ball, deirtear liom, go mbeidh s\u00e9 go h\u00e1lainn san o\u00edche, nuair a bheidh barr na Spuaice lasta suas, agus ag tr\u00e9imhse \u00e1irithe den o\u00edche, beidh bun na Spuaice dofheicthe. Anois, i gc\u00e1s mar sin, nach n-oirfeadh an t-ainm \u201cLiam na Gi\u00faise\u201d d\u00f3? N\u00f3, sa tseanam, d\u2019fheicfeadh daoine solas geal-ghorm ag bogadh timpeall os cionn an phortaigh, san o\u00edche, agus is uaidh sin a th\u00e1inig an t-ainm seo, \u201cLiam na Gi\u00faise\u201d. <\/p>
