Conmhaicne Mara
The Conmaicne (; ) were a people of early Ireland, perhaps related to the Laigin, who dispersed to various parts of Ireland. They settled in Connacht and Longford, giving their name to several Conmaicne territories. T. F. O'Rahilly's assertion the Conmaicne were non-Goidelic is not widely accepted. Etymology Their name originates from a mythical ancestor known as ''Conmac(c)'' (), meaning "hound-son" (, prefix form of n-stem hound; , son). Conmac(c) descended from Fergus mac Róich and Queen Medb of Connacht. However, Walsh stated "Conmac son of Fergus is a genealogical fiction". The word ''Conmaicne'' means "progeny of Conmac" (''-ne'', a progeny). The name in Old Irish spelling contains ''m'' (without a following ''h'') and ''c'' (or more etymologically, ''cc''), thus Old Irish Conmac(c) and Conmaic(c)ne, but in Modern Irish spelling contains ''mh'' (with unetymological ''h'' as a sign of lenition) and single ''c'', thus Conmhac and Conmhaicne).
