From: "Roger Thijs, Euro-Support, Inc." <roger.thijs at euro-support.be>
Subject: Celtic connections

> My question:
can anybody recommend a decent (but available in commerce) "old celtic"
or "medieval celtic" dictionary (with both P and Q variants) containing a
rather complete collection of old celtic word roots?

I found this yesterday in the Brussels Fnac:

Pierre-Yves Lambert, La langue gauloise
édition revue et augmentée
2003, Paris, Editions Errance,
ISBN 2-87772-224-4, 248 pp.

p. 13-24 Position of "gaulois"

his classification:

- Celtique Continental
--   Celtibère
--   Lépontique
--   Gaulois

- Celtique Insulaire
--   Groupe goidélique
---     Irlandais
---     Mannois
---     Ecossais
--   Groupe britonnique
---     ? Picte
---     Gallois
---     Cornique
---     Breton

p. 25-39 Etymology of names
p. 40-41 character symbols
p. 42-50 phonology
p. 50-66 morphology
p. 67-72 syntax
p. 73-185 ephigraphy.. (text samples)
p. 187-203 celtic etymology of some French words
p. 204-207 influence on latin vocabulary.

a sample of celtic etymology in French (quoted from p. 200), cf. English
"mutton":

mouton: d'un gaulois *multõ, cf. v.irl. molt, gall. mollt, bret. maout
"bélier". Le sens de bélier est encore attesté en vieux français, ainsi
qu'en italien (montone).

Comments:
v.irl. : old Irish
gall.: Welsh
bélier: ram

The same publisher has also a dictionary in his program, referred to as:
Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise par Xavier Delamarre.
I plan to order it.

Regards,
Roger
