Sources
Buachaill Éite: Watson in Dwelly
Buachaill’ Eite: Dieckhoff [phonetic text shows long e on Eite]
There is no direct evidence of mòr or beag in Gaelic forms, but the map forms have beag, and this is consistent with buachaill being masculine.
Additional Information
In this case, evidence suggests the final ‘e’ in ‘Buachaille’ is omitted in pronunciation.
