[8] Du-glass, "the becoming, the seemly, green," described by Camden as
"a small brook, running with an easy and still stream;" which conveys a
good idea of the word _Du_. The Du-glass empties itself into the estuary
called by Ptolemy _Bellesama, Belless-aman-e;_ pronounced
Violish-anne,[9] the literal meaning of which is, that the "mouth of the
river only is for ships;" _i.e._, that the rivers which form the haven
are not navigable.--_Chronicles of Eri.--O'Connor._
[9] Ballyshannon is evidently a very slight corruption of this term.
