W. Joyce]].{{Refn|group="lower-alpha"|In "The Fairy Palace of the Quicken Trees", which is his translation of {{illm|Bruidhean Chaorthainn{{!}}''Bruidhean Chaorthainn''|ie|Bruidhean Chaorthainn}}.}}<ref name=joyce-pw-quicken/> ;Nickname Ceithlinn is called by the nickname '''Ceithlion Chaisfhiaclach''' "the crooked toothed" in the ''Oidheadh Chloinne Tuireann'',{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|p=166β167}}{{Refn|As noted by [[William Gregory Wood-Martin|W. G. Wood-Martin]] (1884) in connection with "Ceithlean".<ref name=wood-martin/>}} also translatable as "twisted teeth", from Irish ''cas'' 'twisted'.{{sfnp|O'Duffy|1888|pp=8, 72, 180}} She is also glossed as being "buck-toothed".<ref name=mackillop/> '''Ceitleann Chraos-Fhiaclach''' is the slightly different form of the nickname that occurs in the Fenian cycle story {{illm|Bruidhean Chaorthainn{{!}}''Bruidhean Chaorthainn''|ie|Bruidhean Chaorthainn}}<ref name=pearse/> ("The Fairy Palace of the Quicken Trees",<ref name=joyce-pw-quicken/> "Rowan Tree Palace",<ref name=pearse/> "The Story of the Rowan Tree Dwelling"<ref name=leabhar-na-feinne-v1-p086/>). The headword, ''craos'' ({{langx|sga|crΓ‘es}}) can mean a 'gap, gaping, yawning', as well as 'voraciousness',<ref name=odonaill-craos/><ref name=dil-craes/> but Pearse has accepted the latter sense, and glosses the name as "ravening tooth".<ref name=pearse/> This '''Ceaithlann ''' also appears in Scottish copies of this tale.<ref name=leabhar-na-feinne-v1-p086/>
