Conan

[Decebal-Radu C]

while kelt means 'gentleman', we expect these ancient people to have a mother tongue. This mother tongue should be the ancestor of most Romanic languages along the mountains' range in south of Europe. 
The issue is important as we feel important to find the mother tongue of our ancestors.

Technically I find Romanian as relevant for the names on the Sailors Pillar in Paris (Cernunnos the selector and Senani Urseiloni as Norns of the Senans)

With Romanian (Wallachian if you want) as oldest I find good correlations with other 'celtics':
1. English   Romanian
   knot      nod
   switch    a suci
   hole      huda
   gauge     jug
   star      stea (ith 'r')
   guess     a ghici
   fluff     puf
Something less convincing can be found in Welsh:

2 Welsh   Romanian  English
  braich   brat     arm
  duw      zeu      god
  marw     muri   to die
  mymd     munte    mountain
  paid !   pazea !  keep off! 
  pluf     puf      fluff
  pont     pod       bridge
  taw !    zau !    believe me!
  mom      mama     mother

Of course, Catalan dialect is practically current Romanian. It is clear that other Romance are related to the same root, which I find close to Romanian for sheep-hearding reasons.
