Финн сын Кумалла не мог сражаться в Битве при Габре т.к. был убит за год до нее:
AFM 283.2
Fionn ua Baisccne do thuitim la h-Aichlech mac Duibhdrenn, & la macoibh Uirgrend, do Luaighnibh Temhrach, occ Ath Brea for Bóinn, dia n-debhradh.
Ro bith Find, ba do ghaibh,
go n-diach guin,

a chenn do mhac Mochtamuin.
Minbadh Cailti cosccair,
do bu buaidh as cech fírgliaidh,
Ro badh cosccrach lasin triar

Finn, grandson of Baisgne, fell by Aichleach, son of Duibhdreann, and the sons of Uirgreann of the Luaighni Teamhrach, at Ath Brea, upon the Boinn Boyne, of which was said:
Finn was killed, it was with darts,
With a lamentable wound;
Aichleach, son of Duibhdreann, cut off
The head of the son of Mochtamuin.
Were it not that Caeilti took revenge,
It would have been a victory after all his true battles;
The three were cut off by him,
Exulting over the head of the royal champion.

After Cairbre Liffeachair had been seventeen years in the sovereignty of Ireland, he fell in the battle of Gabhra Aichle, by the hand of Semeon, son of Cearb, one of the Fotharta; Fearcorb, the son of Cormac Cas, having brought the Fiana with him, against the king, to defend Leath Mhogha against him.
И все таки на похоронах Осгара он (Финн) появляется.
Seal fada duinn mar sin,
Ag coimheadh a chuirp chaoimh ghil
Go bh-feachamair chugainnuim neoin
Fionn mac Cumhail mac Treanmoir.

Mar d´aithnigeamairne Fionn
Ag diriughadh a shlighe ´n-ár g-cionn
Druideamaoid ´na choinne san dáil
´s do bhrosduigh sé ´nár gcomhdail.
A long time we remained thus,
Watching his fair white body ;
Till at length at noon we saw approach,
Fionn Mac Cumhaill son of Trenmor.
(...)
When we recognised Fionn
Wending his way toward us ;
We proceeded onward to meet him,
And he hastened to approach us.
А что если в Битве при Габре появились и живые и мертвые фении? Это объясняет все расхождения
