corr-garaidh, c. gharaidh: short not like Brae-ghāri: Diack MS2276
“Such a sound gives a meaning like “dyke-corry,” but the English spelling suggests gairbh, “rough corry”: Alexander note to the above.
“(corGARF): pronounced (cor GARee) in Gaelic, possibly from Coire a’ Gharaidh – Corrie of the Animal’s Den.”: S. Grant Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park
