[Namron] Re: Scathach

I remember reading somewhere that there were circumstances where the mother's line, rather than the father's was used.  Somewhere in the site does research that is more stringent than the SCA.  Does this ring a bell for anyone else?

You would reference the father's name, not the mothers.
  Ireland had more rights for women under Brehon law when compared to 
most any other country in that timeframe, but the patriach was still 
remembered in the name. If the father was Fionn, you, being a lady, 
would be Ua Fionn (O' Finn).
Otherwise, give yourself a qualifier that is self-descriptive.
