      np. -aighi),  IGT Dec. § 55.11 .

      (a) in primary sense `a reunion', hence a popular assembly
10    or gathering
, generally (though not exclusively) for games,
      races, and similar contests, as distinguished from an `airecht'
      or assembly for communal business; commonly transld.
      `fair', though it does not seem to have been intended for com-
      mercial purposes. The chief oenaige were held periodically at
15    fixed places. The word is often used of the place where the
      assembly was held and hence figures in many place-names,
      usually folld. by a gen. but occas. absol., e.g.  mod. Nenagh
      (Co. Tipperary) < an Aenach < a n-oenach; fón Aenach,
       AU ii 376.15  (= mod. Enagh. Co. Roscommon). See  Hogan,
