@eDIL_Dictionary @ChronHib I don't suppose either of you have insight into the placename "Etarbaine", spelled variously as etarbane or nEtarb iniu. It's a place in Tipperary apparently assoc with the Kings of Cashel, but it's mentioned briefly in the version of TBC in YBL

Very difficult to say anything with any certainty. Etarbae has the advantage of being a meaningful word, whereas Etarbaine is not a word as such, nor is it clear what -baine would be supposed to mean. Etar- means "inter-, between".

Yes I agree with you. Sometimes the way the word is written, it’s like EtarbÀine which seems like an editorial choice to maybe link it to Áine rather than -baine, -bane
