Tá ar dtúis ann dhá roth mhóra leathana cloch, roth mór lasmuich agus an roth eile laistigh dé sin agus iad aoninneach.
I am having trouble finding aoninneach in a dictionary. I know it means "concentric" from the translation of PUL's Mo Sgéal Féin chapter 17.
Can anyone advise me what entry to look under in (any) dictionary? |

Well, inneach as a noun is "weft", making me think that aoninneach could mean "of one weft". But the -each of aoninneach should be just an adjectival suffix and not part of the noun "inneach".
Domhnaillín, do you think "of one weft" makes sense. "Of a single piece"?

Inneach was originally a verbal noun. Ind + fige > indech > inneach.
I imagine it is aon + inneach, but I can't find any proof of that.

On second thought, I think David's right: aon + inne + -ach is a more plausible derivation than aon + inneach. Ach níl aon ní i nDinneen ná de Bhaldraithe fé cheachtar desna fréamhfhoclaibh thuasluaite. |

Tá "end, extremity, tip, top, edge" ag Ó Dónaill faoi inn.
If both wheels are of equal size, that might make sense. |

Aonghus, I think it comes from the entry for inne in Ó Dónaill's dictionary - womb, centre etc. With the same centre = centring on the same point. This would make sense here. |

I must have missed that reference when I was looking.... sounds sensible. |
