[deasaich | deasaich an tùs]

Sgrìobh Iain Latharna Caimbeul san leabhar aige mu Canaigh:[6]

Sanday is the Norse term for an island with a sandy beach; there is a Sanday in Orkney and another in the Faeroes. But only the Gaelic equivalent is used in everyday Gaelic speech, An t-Eilein* Gainmhich.

* [...] Colloquially the genitive eilein is used for the nominative eilean.
