释义

loughn.1

Forms: Middle English louh, Middle English loȝe, Middle English logh(e, loughe, 1500s lowgh, Middle English– lough.
Etymology: Middle English lough , loȝe , perhaps representing Old Northumbrian luh (?lúh ), rendering Latin fretum and stagnum in the Lindisfarne Gospels; the use for fretum suggests that it is < Irish loch (see loch n.1), though the vowel perhaps agrees better with the British word represented by Welsh llwch ( < *luksu-) lake, pool.
Obsolete.
a. A lake, pool. In Middle English alliterative poetry sometimes used for: Water, sea.

loughn.2

Brit. /lɒx/, /lɒk/, U.S. /lɑk/, /lɑx/, Irish English /lɑx/
Forms: Middle English lowe, 1500s logh, 1500s– lough.
Etymology: The written form belongs to lough n.1, from which this need not have been separated but for the fact that, while the spelling lough survived in Ireland, the spoken word which it represented became obsolete, being superseded by the native Irish loch /lɒx/: see loch n.1
Anglo-Irish.
A lake or arm of the sea; equivalent to the Scottish loch n.1
