Tá tú a m’fhoghlaim, a Aibí! Ní rabh ’s agam gur "buin" an tuiseal ginideach do "bun". Chreid mise gur "buna" a bhí ann. Mar shampla, is "buna" a fhaghthar in ainmneacha áiteach mar "an Bun Beag" (sráidbhaile i nGaoth Dobhair). Deirtear: tá mé ’gabháil chun an Bhuna Bhig. Is féidir gur eisceacht atá ann.

Is dóiche liom gur rud canúnach é: feicim go bhfuil idir "buin", "buna" is "bona" tugtha ag Dinneen. ("Buin" an leagan a d'fhoghlaim mé féin.) Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!
