Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Kipperoch Road near Succoth Lodge. Beside the road is a short row of houses. The nearest is called Succoth Lodge; for a closer view, see 220895.
The names of most of these houses are, like the houses themselves, quite modern, but the name "Succoth" has been associated with this area for a very long time. A map of the region ("Levinia"), as surveyed by Timothy Pont in the 1580s and 1590s, but published by Joan Blaeu in 1654, shows it as "Sococh"; this is much closer to the original form of the name, which is evidently the Gaelic "Socach". The word is defined by Dwelly's "Illustrated Gaelic English Dictionary" as "certain extent of arable land" (evidently the most common meaning), and as "soccage, tenure of lands by service fixed and determined in quality". The definition ends with the comment "as a place-name Succoth in English". (For a similar example, see 77792, where the corresponding Gaelic name Socach is shown on the OS map.) [Why does "Socach" regularly become "Succoth" in English? I'm speculating that this is from the influence of the Biblical place-name Succoth (Heb. סֻכּוֹת = "booths"); this name occurs about 20 times in the Bible, and so would once have been quite familiar.] |
