pollag (I)

Againne mar anns a’ cheud chiall aig Dwelly “Little pool, hole, pit or pond”. Agus a’ cheud chiall aig MacGhillfhinnein “A little pit”. Na ciallan eile chan eil iad againn idir. Dìreach againne, na sluic, na bruthaichean briste dubha, na lòin ’s na tuill, ’s na riasan [?] ’s an còrr am measg a chèile gu h-àraidh an t-iomlan beag agus briste, sin na pollagan. “Anns na pollagan”, “Am measg nam pollagan.”
