Celtic Fairy Tales, I. Connla and the Fairy Maiden., sentence 21

Connaught is said to have been named after him, but this is scarcely consonant with Joyce's identification with Ptolemy's _Nagnatai_ (_Irish Local Names_, i. 75).

Who acts: this, Joyce · What happens: say, name, be, identify · To what, where: Connaught, scarcely consonant · Speech: someone speaks here
