Now that I've gotten home from work and have access to OCM, I see that
the citation is for "Conchobar mac Taidg, who died in 882, is ancestor
of the O Connors of Connacht..." The header is Conchobar: Conchobar,
Conchu/r, with a pronunciation of kru-hur' (?). (I suspect that's an
error in my edition and it should be kun-hur'.) The spelling before the
colon is the early Irish form, and the spellings after the modern forms.
