@ChronHib I have a question for you, if that's alright. For my PhD I have looked at some Irish genealogies from some MSS, specifically ones with some very old OIr (TCD MS H.2.7 for example), but I have been told by two people that this archaic lang can't be seen as early

One is in an unedited section but Anblamath appears in the genealogical miscellany edited by M.E. Dobbs in ZCP. Also I know
@cyocum a bit, although with this particular example I am a bit in the dark on as I was never able to ask Prof Ó Corráin about. -
I would agree with
@ChronHib but if you could send me the references via email, I would be happy to have a closer look. I cannot promise answers but I will give it my best shot

Can you give me the precise reference to Ó Corráin's Clavis? I would certainly follow his word in such matters. I know that he believed that some genealogies were very early, i.e. early 7th cent (which I find very exciting). I am not sure about the Anflath/Anblomath question...

Anflath (Anbloth in CGH?) looks like negative an- + flath- (=flaith?). No syncope would be expected there. Also I don't see how Anblomath would turn into Anflath by syncope. It would be good to know what etymology is thought to underly this name.
