Kinvara, Kinvarra and even Ceannmhara are all "correct" versions -
it just depends on the age of the book, the context and sometimes
the age of the person telling the story - as I have said many
times of Irish personal names, placenames and surnames; "You pays
your money and you takes your chances."
