brings the word from 1 enech and glan, the original
meaning being
face-clearing
(cf.
Laws iv 318x
, cited under
1 enech II). According to Hamp 1 enech +
clú,

(a)
compensation for insult, loss, or injury, for anything constituting a violation of enech (see 1 enech), pro-
portionate to the status of the person to be compensated.
In Laws Commentary it frequently renders lóg n-enech (e.g.
Laws v 516.10
). When the injury consisted in the death of
a relative the eneclann was proportionate to the status of
those to whom it was due, thus, although it occasionally
renders díre (e.g.
Laws i 42.14
v 50.5 Comm.
), it was in its
early technical meaning distinct from corpdíre, which was
proportionate to the status of the deceased. Distinguished
from smacht:
cach uair i[s] smacht ictar ann, is a ic fo
aicned inti icas, ┐ cach uair is eneclann, is a ic fo aicnedh
inti risi n-ictar,

díre, is toll a eneclann (of one unworthy of trust),
