Manannán sings a verse describing his sea as {{lang|sga|Mag Mell|italic=unset}},<ref name="CCHE-imram" /> in "The Voyage of {{lang|ga|Bran|italic=unset}}", stating that the steeds on the plain cannot be seen, thus alluding to his concealment of his dwelling using the shroud of invisibility ({{lang|ga|féth fíada}}).{{efn|"In Mag Mell of many flowers&nbsp;/ There are many steeds on its surface&nbsp;/ Though them thou seest not".}}<ref>{{harvp|Meyer|1895}}, '''1''', str. 39, pp. 20–21. commentary by [[Alfred Nutt]], p. 149.</ref> {{lang|ga|Emhain Abhlach|italic=unset}} was the place of origin of the [[Silver Branch]] brought to {{lang|ga|Bran|italic=unset}}.<ref>{{harvp|Meyer|1895}}, '''1''', pp. 2–5 and str. 3, ''{{URL|1=https://archive.org/details/voyageofbransono01meye/page/2/mode/2up/ |2=Voyage of Bran}}''.</ref>
