  • The modern spelling with ö is a hypercorrection based on the phonology of the dialect of Uri, as in Göschenen < *cascina. It is unclear whether the -d- in the forms Schellenden and Geschenden is anaptyctic or if it represents a Rumantsch suffix complex *-ione-ata- (as it were *skal-ion-ata- > *skalinda > schellenden; RN 2, 1033). A popular etymology connecting German schellen 'to ring, resound' is reported by Brandstetter, 'Urseren', Vaterland 69 (1907). ortsnamen.ch[full citation needed]

  • Ó Cianáin, Tadhg (1607–1609). "The Flight of the Earls by Tadhg Ó Cianáin, edited from the author's manuscript, with translation and notes". CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts. Translated by Walsh, Paul (1st St. Patrick's College Maynooth (1916) ed.). University College, Cork. Retrieved 29 May 2023. The next day, Saint Patrick's day precisely, the seventeenth of March, they went to another small town named Silenen. From that they advanced through the Alps. Now the mountains were laden and filled with snow and ice, and the roads and paths were narrow and rugged. They reached a high bridge in a very deep glen called the Devil's Bridge. One of Ó Néill's horses, which was carrying some of his money, about one hundred and twenty pounds, fell down the face of the high, frozen, snowy cliff which was in front of the bridge. Great labour was experienced in bringing up the horse alone, but the money decided to remain blocking the violent, deep, destructive torrent which flows under the bridge through the middle of the glen. They stayed that night in a little town named Piedimonte. Their journey that day was six leagues.
