Commentary

If Barry's and Macalister's reading is correct with LOBBI, this may be an example of the element LOBA- found in other ogham inscriptions, for example, LOBACCONA in CIIC 266 from Dromore, Co. Waterford. This element may be related to OIr. Lobur/Lobor 'weak' (dil.ie/30409). Although much less certain, if the ancestor name Macalister read as RINI is correct, it may be equated with the word renn 'swift, fast' (dil.ie/35118) (Ziegler 1994, 111, 88).
