Gearra-Bhall
B’ e an gearra-bhall (Laidinn Pinguinus impennis, Beurla ‘great auk’) eun-mara mòr, aig nach robh comas sgiathaidh, a chaidh à bith ann an meadhan an naoidheamh linn deug.
Tha co-dhiù ochd ainmean Gàidhlig clàraichte air a shon, ged as e gearra-bhall am fear as aithnichte. Tha dùil gun do dh’èirich seo bho ainm an eòin ann an Lochlannais – geirfugl ‘eun-sleagha’ – às an tig ainm eile ann am Beurla – gairfowl.
