ullamh

I'm pretty sure that Irish and Scottish Gaelic ullamh is not a descendant of airlam (https://dil.ie/2167; https://xn--lamh-bpa.org/glossary/urlamh/). Rather, the descended form is urlamh, though sharing similar meaning to ullamh, a descendant of ellam/ullam/ollam (https://dil.ie/19975; https://xn--lamh-bpa.org/glossary/ullamh/), hence the possible confusion. Manx aarloo is indeed a descendant of airlam while ullee would seem to be a descendant of ellam/ullam/ollam, although it is an interesting reflex as the expected form of a direct descendant would have been *ulloo. See also the entries for ullamh and urlamh in Dinneen's Foclóir Gaedhilge agus Béarla. Erisceres (talk) 23:24, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
