I often get frustrated when I see assertions that passages or sections from the Irish genealogies are early but there isn't really an explanation. In the phrase "Ferta na rRig" from TCD H.2.7, O Corrain says that it's an early form.

Just happen to have eHogan open on my computer. It says "on older form" - that's actually quite non-committal and means nothing in particular
It may be originally from Hogan? Usually Ó Corráin's stuff is between *...* In any case, the passage looks like good Old Irish. -
I checked Hogan, I don’t think he says it’s older himself, but I will check again. Thanks for the info! I was well prepared to say it was an early form, since I can’t tell the difference myself.
