Turlough
A turlough, or turlach, is a unique type of disappearing lake found mostly in limestone areas of Ireland, west of the River Shannon. The name comes from the Irish "tuar", meaning dry, with the suffix "lach", meaning a place. The "lach" suffix is often mistakenly spelled and/or thought to refer to the word "loch", the Scottish Gaelic and Scots word for lake. They are found in Irish karst areas. The features are almost unique to Ireland, although there is one example in Britain in Llandeilo. They are of great interest to many scientists: geomorphologists are interested in how turloughs were formed, hydrologists try to explain what makes turloughs flood, botanists study the unusual vegetation which covers the turlough floor and zoologists study the animals associated with the turloughs.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Turlough
tur′loh, n. a shallow pond in Ireland, dry in summer. [Ir. turloch.]
