No. I hardly think so. It's just the ending which is attached which makes
it possible to even give it a rather remote appearance that this might be the
case. In regard to another word for example we do have a combination of two
elements SUN + LOGEW into SULLOGH, but the ending is still -H which is also NOT
derived from GH. Smyth gives the rule for feminine nouns of the first
declension (A-stems) that when alpha is preceded by a consonant which is not R the A
is changed to H -- §217b.
