I've expanded this article with as much information as I can find about this character. However, as this article is still so short, I'm unsure about taking off the stub tag. Arbadihist 21:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Sid Uamuin

[edit]

Is Sid Uamuin Ethal's wife? my copy of the Aislinge Oenguso says, in reference to Caer: "Cáer Ibormeith daughter of Ethal Anbúail from Síd Uamuin in the province of Connachta." Does this mean that Sid Uamuin is her mother or that Sid Uamuin is the name of the particular place in Connacht from which her father hails? After all, Bodb the Red's palace is called Sid ar Femuin. Can anyone clarify this? thanks Fergus mac Róich 16:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Síd Uamuin is a place, one of the hollow hills where the Tuatha Dé live. I have been unable to find any other reference to it, so all we know is that it was in Connacht. But in Aislinge Oengusa, she is at Loch Bél Drecon, which is in Munster, at what is now known [1] as Lough Muskry, on the northern slopes of the Galtee Mountains a few miles south of Tipperary town.Ronhicks (talk) 19:16, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
