Name of cape southwest of Eglarest, also known as Ras Mewrim (WJ/190, WJ/379). The initial element of the name is bâr “home”, the second element is the plural in of the definite article i¹ “the” and the final element is the plural mŷl “gulls”.

Conceptual Development: This name was earlier given as Bar-in-Gwael (WJ/418). In one place it was changed in pencil to Bar-i-Mŷl, a more accurate rendering of the result of nasal-mutation of the plural definite article in before m (WJ/418); hat-tip to Vyacheslav Stepanov for this suggestion.

An earlier name for Bar-in-Mŷl “Home of the Gulls” (WJ/418). The initial element of the name is bâr “home” and the second element is the plural in of the definite article i¹ “the”, but the meaning of the final element is unclear. It may be a variation of gwae “wind”.
