Battle of the Worlds


Na Fineachan Gaidhealach (1):
The Day Before Mons Graupius


The Symbol Side of Aberlemno II, copyright (c) 1998 by Martin McMarthy

If a flock of birds graze
upon Mag Murthemne ,
you shall have a duck
with half of another;
if fish come into the estuaries,
you shall have a salmon
with half of another;
you shall have the three sprigs,
the spray of watercress,
the spray of marshwort,
and the spray of seaweed,
and a drink of cold
sandy water after it.
You shall have some-one
in the ford in your place,
if it should happen to be your
watch, until you have slept.

of today's English) at Dun (2) (Hill) Neachdainn ( Tribes and\or

personal names in Scotland (Alba and\or Albainn, a pre-Lady
Thatcher nation on the island of Britain (Breatunn, Breatuinn,
Pretan, Prydein, Cruithin, Cruithinn, Quruithinn, and Quruithin)

bridge-work. It's also found in Ireland Erin (21), Erinn (22), Eriu (20),
Eueriio, Eire, Eireann (23), Eirin (16), Eirinn, and the poetic names;

         "But the Britons thinking themselves baffled, not so
         much by our valour as by our general's skilful use of
         an opportunity, abated nothing of their arrogant
         demeanour, arming their youth [the Boy Troop in the
         TAIN BO CHUAILGNE], removing their wives [they weren't
         Irish, after all] and children to a place of safety,
         and assembling together to ratify with sacred rites, a
         confederacy [Coille-Daoine = Caledonii] of all their
         states.  Thus, with angry feelings on both sides, the
         combatants parted....For the Britons, indeed, in no
         way cowed [a poor choice of words for anyone familiar
         with Celtic society] by the result of the late
         engagement, had made up their minds to be either
         avenged or enslaved, and convinced at length that a
         common danger must be averted by union, had, by
         embassies and treaties, summoned forth the whole
         strength of all their states"...(Murray, January 2006,
         Agricola - Mons Graupius - Calgacus, paragraphs 7 and
         8)
Celtic Britain and Northern Gaul.
Because the Roman Army was in Caledonia,
Breathnaich (Cuimbrich) refugees, including
Royalty, who refused to submit to the Roman Empire,
had to have been there, too and Tacitus refers to
the Caledonii [Coille Daoine and\or Daoine
Fiadhaich] as Breathnaich refugees.  Ban-righ
(Queen) Boadicia [Boidhe and\or Buidhe (Beautiful,
Beauty, Lilly, Linnet, Fair, Handsome,
Handsomeness, Daisy, Creaping crowfoot, Comely, Cow
of a yellowish colour, Goldfinch, Golden, Any small
bird of a yellowish colour, Any yellow flower,
Elegance, Pretty, Yellow, and\or Yellow seaweed;
her name is an example of a Gaidhealach word
having a double meaning = Buaidh:  Success,
Conquest, Conquer, Overcome, and\or Victory] and
her two daughters, of the Iceni, may have escaped
to Alba.  The Coille Daoine were a confederation
predominately of Breathnaich from the areas to the
South.

The description of the Caledonii (Coille Daoine)
and the other tribes:

     1.  [Roman] writers - of Tacitus (AGRICOLA,
         chap. xi), who tells us that the
         `Caledonians' of the North differed from
         the Southern [Breathnaich] in being
         larger limbed and redder-haired,

     2.  and of Strabo (GEOGRAPHICA, Book iv,
         chap. v), who described the tribes in the
         interior of Breathunn as taller than the
         Gaulish (Gaidhealach) colonists on the
         coast, with hair less yellow and limbs
         more loosely knit.

     3.  ...Gaul was divided into three parts, one
         of which was inhabited by the Belgae,
         another by the Aquitani, and the third by
         those who called themselves Celtae, but
         were termed Galli [Gauls, Goidels, and\or
         Gaidheil] by the Romans; and that they all differed
         from one another in language, customs, and laws.  Of
         these, Professor Rhys identifies the Belgae with the
         [Breathnaich] British, and the Celtae with the
         Goidels, the third people, the Aquitani, being
         non-Celtic and non-Aryan [non-Indo-European in today's
         terminology], part of the great Hamitic-speaking [Afro
         of today's Afro-Asiatic] Iberian stock.

         (`Scottish Review,' [An Giblean], 1890)

     4.  Equally do the classic authorities agree in
         recognizing the `Silures' of South [Cuimridh] as an
         entirely different race from any other in Britain.
         The dark complexions and curly hair of these Iberians
         [Hamito-Semites and\or Afro-Asians] seemed to Tacitus
         to prove them immigrants from Spain.  (Squire, 2001,
         pp. 22 and 23) and the description of Ban-righ
         Boadicia, who was in Roman occupied Britain, are
         almost the same.

     5.  "Dio Cassius described the Celtic queen:  "She was
         huge of frame, terrifying of aspect, and with a harsh
         voice.  A great mass of bright red hair fell to her
         knees."

         (Archibald, March\April 1996, pp. 20)

         The significant differences between the societies of
         the Southern Picts and the Northern Picts is summed up
         by the two Celtic names for the Caledonii:  Coille
         Daoine (Brythonic - P\F Celtic) and Daoine Fiadhaich
         (Gaelic - Q\V Celtic).  The exact same dichotomy in
         Maya civilization is the best example showing the
         situation in Alba:

         "As for the meanning of "Forest People," that depends
         on who is using these words.  When members of the
         Quiche...used them to refer to themselves, they were
         calling up the memory of their rise to greatness from
         humble origins in a great forest.  But when [Rab'inal
         Achi] uses the same words while speaking angrily to
         the man who is his opponent and will soon be his
         prisoner, and when Lord Five Thunder later uses them
         while describing the prisoner's behavior as that of an
         animal, they shift the meaning.  In everyday speech
         (as opposed to courtly poetry), "forest people" meant
         people who were foolish, rustic, and gross."
         (Tedlock, 2003, p. 176)

         "When K'eche is used instead of K'iche' [Quiche] in
         [16th] -century documents written in Quichean
         languages, it is nearly always followed by Winaq,
         specifying that the reference is to people; in
         contrast, most terms for nations (such as K'iche' and
         Rab'inal) do not require such modification.  That is
         probably because K'eche is shortened from
         "k'echela'j," an ordinary term for "forest," and
         K'eche Winaq is to be understood as "Forest People."
         In a context such as that of the Popol Vuh, written by
         Quiche authors, K'eche Winaq calls up a proud heritage
         of emergence into glory from the depths of a great
         forest (see D. Tedlock 1996:  pp. 150-162, 181).  But
         in the context of the [Rab'inal] play, where these
         same words name a prisoner of war, they may have
         called up the same meaning as "k'echela'j winaq,"
         which is "rustic, gross, foolish person" "(FV, TC)."
         (Tedlock, 2004, p. 275)

         "For his part, Rab'inal Achi [Q'alel Achi (Man of
         Glory; equivalent to Feargus = Man-of-Strenth and\or
         Man-of-no-fear)] calls his captive "Kaweq K'eche
         Winaq," "Cawek of the Forest People," which reveals
         that the social relationship between the two of them
         is an asymmetrical one.  Kaweq is the name of the
         first-ranking royal house [equivalent to Clann Brodie]
         of the K'iche' [the Quiche-nation], indicating that
         the captive is noble by birth [This is equivalent to
         Bride]...For much of their history, the lords of the
         [Rab'inal] were members of a confederation that was
         headed by the lords of the K'eche Winaq or "Forest
         People," more commonly known as the K'iche' (Quiche
         [Qiche] = nation; equivalent to Neachdainn)."
         (Tedlock, 2003, p. 176)

         Another eerie parallel is that of the Maya name or
         title:  Lord Five Thunder and the Pictish kings:
         Thunder

         "Tharain, it has been suggested, may be a corrupted
         form of the Gaelic word `dara,'as in `an dara aon' -
         the second one; but it is more likely to be cognate to
         a Gaulish (P-Celtic and\or F-Celtic) word meaning
         thunder."  (Henderson, Diar-Daoin 10 Faoillteach 2008,
         Biographies of the Kings Page 2, 2), Tharain)

         "W.A. Cummins, in his influential work, "The Age of
         the Picts," (1995) suggests that the name Drust or
         Drostan may be cognate with the Welsh name Tristan,
         from trysau, meaning thunder."  (Henderson, Diar-Daoin

         of the Kings of the Picts)

     Note:  A clann name, for example, Donnel, can be used in
            English in the following forms:  MacDonalds, the
            MacDonalds, Clann Dhomnuill, Dhomnullach, and\or
            the Dhomnullach:

            MacDonalds visited Wales this summer.

            Clann Dhomnuill visited Wales this summer.

            The Dhomnullach visited Wales this summer.

         "Apart from the 79 Kings listed, the Pictish
         Chronicles also give a list of 28 kings (though they
         describe it as 30) called Brude, who supposedly
         reigned for a total period of 150 years:  (there's
         that 150 again) their reigns followed Cruithne and his
         seven sons (the seven provinces of Pictland, including
         Fortrenn) and preceded King Gede (No. 1)."

         "If we take into account the realistic probability
         that the southern Picts spoke a form of P-Celtic
         similar to Old Welsh (while not forgetting the other
         learned arguments that have been put forward to the
         contrary), then it may be that these "Brudes" are
         simply a "P" form (hardened to a B) of the Irish and
         Gaelic word `Cruth' or `Cruithne,' meaning `of the
         Picts.'

         Henderson makes two mistakes.  First, that the
         Cruithin in the North - Northwest Highlands (A'
         Ghaidhealtachd) were not part of Southern Pictland.
         Second, that therefore, they were the Northern Picts.
         But an account of a Christian mission to the Northern
         Picts and almost all of the research, places the
         Northern Picts in their deer-park up around
         Inverness-shire [Inbhir:  Confluence of rivers, Cove
         or Creek at the mouth of a river, Mouth of a river,
         Anguluar piece of ground at the confluence of two
         rivers; -neas:  Head-land; Isthmus, Promontory; -shire
         = a pre-Lady Thatcher administrative unit] in the
         Central Highlands.  That's the land of the
         Coille-daoine (Caledonii).  The language of the
         inhabitants of A' Ghaidhealtachd as evidenced by Clann
         MacKay and the tribal names on Ptolemy's map in that
         region, in Galloway (A' Ghall Ghaidhealtachd) and in
         the Lowlands (A' Ghalldachd) was Irish.  The clothing
         of the Picts on the Battle Stone at Aberlemno is
         Irish.  The name for Caledonia after Northern Pictland
         was united with the Southern Picts in 560 C.E. by Righ
         Brude Mac Maelchom [Mailcon and\or Maelgwn:
         White-stone], the famous Righ of Gwynedd in North
         Cuimridh, was Fhiadach (Fidach), which is Irish for
         Coille (Forest, Grove, and\or Wood).  A Caledonian in
         Irish was called Fiadh-dhuine (Savage).  The Northern
         Picts (Caledonians) up around Inbhir-neas spoke
         P-Celtic and Clann Brodie is named after Brude
         (Quruthi-n = Prydai-n = Britai-n = Cruithi-n).

         "The Irish text in the 14th century `Book of
         Ballymote' says, Bruide adberthea fri gach fir dib,
         randa na fear aile; ro gabsadar L. ar C. ut est
         illeabraibh na Cruithneach."  "This translates as;
         "And Brude was the name of each man of them, and of
         the divisions of the other men.  They possessed an
         hundred and fifty years, as it is in the many books of
         the Cruithneach."

         "The implication is that everyone in Pictland was a
         `Brude' and indeed this, or something similar, may
         have been what the Picts originally called themselves.
         As for those other kings called Brude in the main King
         List, like Brude the son of Bile (48), and Brude the
         son of UUrguist [Fergus] (59), they may simply have
         been named Brude [Brigante] in the same way that many
         [male] Scots of today are called `Scott.'

                 Brude List             King List
                 ----------             ---------

         (Henderson, Diar-Daoin 10 Faoillteach 2008, Appendix
         Page 4, Appendix IV)

         Because the Brude kings ruled after Cruithne and his
         seven sons (the seven Pictish provinces) and before
         the Pictish kings, probably the P-Celtic (F-Celtic)
         speaking Britains dominated the Central Highlands,
         from just after the revolt of Ban-righ Boadicea until
         they were united with the Southern Picts in 560 C.E.
         by Righ Brude Mac Maelchom [Mailcon and\or Maelgwn:
         White-stone], the famous Righ of Gwynedd in North
         Cuimridh.

         If seven different names in the Brude List were paired
         with another of the remaining names, then there would
         be seven pairs of Brudes, rather than 14 separate
         names.  The seven pairs may correspond to the seven
         provinces.  For example:

         Moneth may be Monteith.  In 140 C.E. when Ptolemy
         recorded the names of the tribes, including the
         Caledonii confederation, in Alba, the Brythonic
         (P\F-Celtic) Coille Daoine may already have set up the
         seven (Brude) provinces.

         The Upper Danube regions in Bavaria, Bohemia, and
         Austria were where the Indo-European Hallstatt Celts
         (MacGregor, paragraph 7, Celtic Civilization &
         Language) originated. The Hallstatt Celts developed
         from Bronze-Age pre-Indo-European Homo-sapiens-sapiens
         (the Homo-sapiens-neanderthals were long gone) and
         Indo-Europeans.  "The Danube begins as two small
         springs - the Breg and the Brigach - that emerge from
         the eastern slopes of the Black Forest Mountains" (THE
         NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 2003, Micropaedia, vol.
         3, p. 880).  This area is the original home of the
         Brigantes (Clann Brodie and their Goddess: Bridi
         and\or Bridget).

         If there's any justice for the Welsh, the British
         government will return the Central Highlands.

         Venicones [Bheanachan, Vineachan, Fineachan, and Phoenician:
         Families, Soldiers, Surnames, Nations, Heathans,
         Tribes, Clanns, Gentiles, and\or Kindred].

         The F and V sounds were interchangeable in the Celtic
         languages.  [Cohane, 1970, p. 78]  The use of F in
         place of V and vice versa, may indicate differences in
         dialect between Alba and Ulster [ Ulaidh] or between
         Q-Celtic and P-Celtic.  According to the THE NEW
         ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 15th edition, 2003
         ("European Religions, Ancient," vol. 18, p. 766,
         Macropaedia), "[Julius] Caesar makes no mention of a
         Gaulish [god named] Vulcan though insular [the British
         Isles] sources reveal that there was one and that he
         enjoyed high status.  His name in [A' Gaeilge] Irish,
         Goibhniu, and Welsh [A' Cuimrig], Gofannon, derived
         from the Celtic word for smith ["gobhainn" in A'
         Gaidhlig]."  There're many instances in Celtic
         languages where an internal vowel sound in a word is
         eliminated and a vowel is added to the end.  For
         example, Cruithin and Cruithne.

         The "bh" and "mh" consonant combinations in A'
         Gaedhilge and A' Gaidhlig are pronounced as a "v" or
         "w" sound or are silent.  The "v" sound in Celtic,
         softens into an "f" sound in many cases.

         Whatever the case may be, this interchangability
         of f and v is evident in many sources, such as
         the Oghum alphabet and early British history [for
         example, in the Gaidhlig form of the Clann names:
         MacDuff (MacDhuibh = Son of Duff), MacFie (Mac
         Dubh-shithe = Son of Fie), and\or MacPhie (Mac
         Dubh-shithe = Son of Phie); the "bh" in these
         examples, represents an original v sound], as well as
         in Roman records.  It should be kept in mind that in
         Celtic grammar, the "b" and "m" sounds in some words
         are aspirated and pronounced as a "v" sound and
         spelled "bh" and "mh" depending upon whether the case
         is feminine or masculine, genitive, dative, etc.,
         and\or singular or plural, to cite a few variations.

         The word Bean (Woman) is sometimes aspirated and
         pronounced Ven.  It is the root of the tribal names:
         Phoenician, Vennicnii, Venicones, the Irish heroes
         known as:  Feinn, Feinne, Fingalian, Fiann (Giant
         and\or Warrior), Fianntan (Champions), Fianna,
         Fianna-Eireann, Fianntaidh (Hero and\or Giant), Fionn,
         and Fionnaidh, and a dwarf of theirs:  Fianntachan
         - Finley's son [mac], Dylan the Leprechuan
         [leth-Bhreacan; leth-:  by-, somewhat-, semi-;
         duplicate, and\or one of two; breac:  chequered, which
         is made with "two" different sets of lines;
         leth-bhreac:  fellow, duplicate, copy, one of a pair,
         and\or partner; -an:  plural] is a different dwarf.
         Bean is also the root of one of the three names of the
         Irish:  Finn (Squire, 2001, p. 120) as well as the
         words fin (families, soldiers, surnames, nations,
         heathans, tribes, clanns, gentiles, and\or kindred),
         fine and fineachan.

                          Quick, Active, Woman, Wife

         note:  "bh is pronounced as "v," "mh" is
                pronounced as "v," "mhn" as "vr,"
                and "mn" as "mr."

         Alternative translations of Venicones are:  Veni =
         Fine and -ceannas:  chieftainship or -conas:  battle,
         fight, dispute, quarrel, and\or war;  Chieftainship of
         Tribes or Tribes of War.  Given the use of the name
         Neachdainn by the Picts in the same area in the year
         685 C.E., Tribes of War is probably the most literal.
         However, many words have more than one meaning.  For
         example, uim:  brass, country, copper, and earth.  The
         Tribes of War (The Fianna Eireann) became the
         Chieftainship of the Pictish nation.

         Taezali [Taidh (-ean):  Troop, Multitude, and\or
         Cavalcade and\or Taigh (-ean), Taighe, Tigh, and\or
         Tighe:  House; -Ghaidheil and\or -Goidel (one of the
         three names of the Old Irish); House of Gaidheil
         and\or Multitude of Gaidheil (La-Tene Celts)] = Clann
         Graham [Graeme, Greme, Greumach, Griom:  Battle
         and\or War, Gurum, and\or Girim].

         The "z" in the Latin alphabet represents the "gh"
         sound [Bain, 1984, p. 238] and has a separate
         character in the Oghum alphabet; Ghaidheil =
         Goidel.  The words Gael, Ghaidheal, Ghaidheil,
         Gaidheal, Gaidheil, and Goidel are pronounced about
         the same through the process known as synizesis.

         "Synizesis is when two [sometimes more] vowels
         [sounds] coalesce into a single long vowel [sound].
         Very frequently the first vowel in the group will
         be epsilon, such as in the genitive ending -ew in,
         for example, [the Greek word] Phlhi?dew in the
         first line of the Iliad."  (Annis, January 2006,
         Introduction to Greek Meter)

         The "i" suffix in Celtic indicated the genitive
         case possessive.  (Celtic Language, THE NEW
         ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 2003, vol. 3, p. 17,
         Micropaedia)

         "The tribes of the Medes [who were Indo-Europeans]
         were called "BIT" so-and-so, meaning house of
         so-and-so, like the Semitic habit ("Beth," "Beit")
         ...The Society of Jerusalem was a feudal class
         system based on aristocracies called "houses" of
         princes and nobles, rulers and elders.  The Persian
         governor [who was Indo-European] was the top
         official but then came the priestly houses"...

         "The Median prince Daiukku, called by Herodotus,
         Deioces, possibly founder of the kingdom of the Medes,
         was deported with his extended family to Syria.  The
         tribes of the Medes were called "Bit" so-and-so,
         meaning the house of so-and-so, like the Semitic habit
         ("beth", "beit"), so the House of Deioces was lost
         just as the ten houses of Israel were supposedly
         lost."

         A house of course, is always related to a place;
         even a mobile-home has license plates from a
         certain place and the owner of the mobile-home has
         a drivers' license from a place.  Clanns and tribes
         (confederations of Clanns) in Pretan (Britain) were
         always related to a place and if there's any
         justice for Northern Ireland (Ulaidh), the British
         government will return the Lowlands [Gallda:
         Foreigner and\or Stranger; -da (duthaich):  land,
         native-land, district, territory, and\or country =
         land of Foreigners] - maybe a United Albannach
         (Scottish) Lowands and Northern Ireland (Ulaidh
         and\or Ulster) or at least allow an  A' Ghaedhilge
         elective in grammar school.

           "According to MacBain (MacBheathain), the pecular
           custom of confusing this [de:  of and\or off] word
           with do,"to," in speaking [A' Ghaidhlig], extends
           back to Old Irish in pre-accentual compounds, but
           the erroneous practice has no doubt largely been
           increased by the publishers of the Gaelic
           Scriptures, the instances of the use of do, instead
           of de making the meaning of the text in [A'
           Ghaidhlig] just the opposite of what the original
           conveys.  It is strange how tenacious some Gaelic
           writers are of the pernicious custom of using do for
           both de and do, while it is quite plain that the
           meaning of one is just the opposite of the other.
           It is no excuse to say that it is often spoken so
           (in some places de is practically obsolete) for it
           is the duty of scholars and those who write or speak
           A' Ghaidhlig, to do so correctly, and so help to
           correct popular errors instead of perpetuating them.
           This is only one case among many, where any
           unprejudiced person can see the absolute necessity
           of Gaelic being taught in every school, at least in
           [A'Gaidhlig] speaking districts, to prevent its
           becoming a mixture of exceptions like English (A'
           Bheurla)."  (Dwelly, 1984, p. 313)

           When Dwelly first wrote the above, Scottish
           children were beaten by their Scottish teachers
           whenever they spoke Gaelic in school.

         Since the Iron Lady is out of office, there might
         be a chance - a snowball's chance in Hell, that
         A' Ghaeilge could be taught in Galloway [Gall, -bagh:
         bay, harbour, creek. and\or estuary; a pre-Lady
         Thatcher administrative unit].

         Sinn Fein and Gerry Adams would find this, time
         better spent, than aggitpropping the rights of their
         enslaved Spanish Basque cousins who are forced to
         work naked and unshod in total darkness, in deep
         underground tin mines, digging silvery nuggets out
         of the rock with their bare hands and then carrying
         both dirt and tin in leather bags up notched wooden
         posts to the surface of the ground where the High
         (Ard) Righ (King) of Spain (Iberia) sits on his
         throne (Lia Faileas, Lia Fail, and\or Scota),
         weighing each bit of ore and rewarding the
         hump-backed Iberian dwarves with juicey morsels of
         Tagieis (Haggis).  Time better spent - than trying
         to enlighten Columbian jungle-bunnies by showing
         them the most current techniques of debate.

         Jerry, for gods' sake, Sinn means "Us" and\or "We."
         Sinn Fein is a prepositional pronoun and is the
         emphatic of Sinn - meaning the Irish.  Emphatic
         doesn't mean "Looney" and Sinn Fein doesn't mean
         you and I and they and thou and Etruscans and Incas
         and everyone else, including the Man in the Moon.

         Where does it stop?  Why not Galatia (Turkey) and
         Galicia (more of Spain) or are you refering to
         Poland?.  Then what?  Porpoises and hugging trees?
         Maybe next May Day the whole world can hold hands
         and sing Cum-bah-yah in Chinese?  Enough!  This is the

         "According to Caesar the god most honoured by the
         Gauls was "Mercury,"...His Celtic name is not
         explicitly stated [by Caesar], but it is clearly
         implied in the place-names Lugudunon ("the fort or
         dwelling of the god Lugus"); Laons, Leyden, and Lyons
         (Squire, 2001, pp. 276 and 277)...The [A' Gaeilge] and
         [A' Cuimrig] cognates of Lugus are Lugh and Lleu,
         respectively, and the traditions concerning these
         figures mesh neatly with those of the Gaulish god."
         Because Lugh was the most honoured of all the gods,
         "possessed of many talents" (which apparently, did not
         include an understanding of the feminine mind of the
         "Women of Slaughter" -  see below) "the devine
         exemplar of sacral kingship," and the god of
         sovereignty (European Religions, Ancient, THE NEW
         ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 15th ed., 2003, vol. 18, p.
         765, Macropaedia), naming the Irish religious
         confraternity class after him makes sense.  The Lugi
         were one of the three powerful classes of Celtic
         society - the religeous = Clann MacKay.

         "The Druidh (-ean) [were] the priests and the Barda,
         Bardan, and\or Baird [were] the poets, who in Albainn,
         had lands bestowed on them, which became hereditary in
         their families."  (Dwelly 1994, p. 69)].

         The existence of the Lugdach in 800 C.E. in the area
         previously occupied by the Vennicnii in Donegal in
         Western Ulaidh, the existence of Clann MacKay in the
         area previously occupied by the Lugi, the "Gaelic [of
         Clann MacKay having] been closer to that of Southern
         [Eueriio] than to the Scottish version...the
         patronymic [of] Clann [MacKay] "Aodh" being an
         attribute of the god Lug, all indicate that the
         Western and North Highlands were settled by the
         Cruithin from Eueriio.  When the Lugi switched to
         Christianity and were no longer allowed to use the
         name of the God Lug-fear (the so-called One-God
         clause in God's Law), they used an attribute of his:
         Aodh (fire) and\or Aoidh (Skilful person, etc.), hence
         the Clann name:  MacKay.  That Clann Mackay spoke the
         Gaelic of Southern Eueriio, until the English made
         them stop, is not unusual.

         "Max Muller has shown that the texts of the Vedas
         [which are Indo-European] have been handed down orally
         for a period of more than 2,000 years, with such
         exactitude that there can hardly be found a doubtful
         accent anywhere in them."  (La ciencia de la religion,
         Ed. Albatros, 1945; Girard, 1979, p. 15)

         "Interestingly, the Gaelic languages of Scotland and
         Ireland are mutually understandable to some greater or
         lesser degree, with Donegal Irish Gaelic distinctly
         closer to Scottish Gaelic.  A little study shows the

         gathered in Donegal during the 2nd Century C.E. before
         floating to Alba to have a go at the Romans.  All
         religious confraternities every where at all times
         have been very conservative.  Furthermore, Southern
         Eueriio has always been more civilized (not always a
         good thing, especially if you're on the receiving end)
         than Ulaidh and the pre-Christian patriarchal Celtic
         religion with Lugh developing into a Monotheistic
         diety would have spread from the South into the
         matriarchal Ulaidh and Alba during the 1st to 2nd
         Century C.E.  So, the descendants of the old religious
         confraternity (Clann MacKay) would have tended to
         retain more of their old ways, including language,
         while other members of their society next to them
         would have been more inclined to adopt newer ways (not
         always a good thing, especially if you're on the
         receiving end), including language.

         Female-heroes.  Alba was doomed when the Roman
         Catholic Church banned women and the Boy Troop from
         combat when Righ (King) Brude Mac Derili ratified the
         Law of Innocents of Saint Adamnan in about 700 C.E.
         (Henderson, Diar-Daoin 10 Faoillteach 2008, number 50,
         BIOGRAPHIES OF THE KINGS PAGE 5).  Before being
         outlawed, the Smertae, along with Clann MacKay and
         Clann Gunnr became part of the confederation of tribes
         named Cat (Cath) in the Pictish province of the same
         name, which included most of the Western and North
         Highlands.  When Saint Adamnan's Law of Innocents was
         ratified, Rome sided with the Irish and the Law cut
         the Picts' fighting force by more than half.  Later,
         Rome turned its back on the Irish and sided with the
         Anglo-Normans until the Reformation.  But by then,
         there was little difference between Ireland and Hell.
         Yet, it got worse.  The Irish have to be admired for
         their tenacity in clinging to their adopted
         Mediterranian religion for all of these centuries.

         The Smertae were part of one of the three powerful
         classes of Celtic society - the warrior.  Because
         Clann MacKay was another of the three powerful classes
         of Celtic Society, in the same area that was almost
         inaccessable to people who didn't walk, until the
         English brought us roads, and existing records show
         that Clann MacKay is from Southern Eriu, the Smertae
         are without a doubt, the Banba (Women-of-slaughter),
         also from Eriu and were the ultimate warriors.  Not
         so?

         "As was common in barbarian [free and\or
         pre-Christian] society, women were as likely as men to
         be warriors.  A medieval account of the period
         relates:

         "Now Ronait [Ronadh and\or Ronnadh:  Staff and\or
         Club, the pot calling the kettle black "morality
         tale"], Saint Adomnan's mother, saw a woman with an
         iron reaping hook in her hand, dragging another woman
         out of the enemy host with a hook fastened in one of
         her breasts.  For men and women were equally to battle
         at that time (about 700 C.E.)."

         During the Roman occupation of Southern Breathunn, the
         Fianna-Eireann (Na Fineachan Gaidhealach) and the
         Coille-Daoine (Clann Brodie) broke the practically
         solid wall of Roman legionaires in battle by running
         and\or tossing tabars on them while the Smiorte pulled
         down the "Roman Wall" by tossing reaping hooks on the
         end of chains over "the wall," hooking legionaires
         from behind, and then pulling them through the "wall"
         to be finished off with daggers [biodagan].  The Picts
         had come a long way since Ban-righ and\or Ban-righinn
         [Queen] Boadicea's revolt and the battle of Mons
         Graupius.

         "Perhaps women in Rome would have submitted to this
         [rape of Ban-righ Boadicea's two daughters by Roman
         legionaires and whipping of herself], but
         [Ban-righinn] Boadicea did not.  Instead she mounted
         her war chariot and led both the Iceni and the nearby
         Trinovantes [Treun = Strong; -van = women; -taidh =
         multitude] against the iron legions."

         "Dio Cassius described the Celtic [Ban-righ]:  "She
         was huge of frame, terrifying of aspect, and with a
         harsh voice.  A great mass of bright red hair fell to
         her knees; she wore...a tunic ["leine" which the
         English outlawed when they conquered Ireland] of many
         colours ["tartan" which the English outlawed when they
         conquered Scotland], over which was a thick mantle
         ["brat" which the English outlawed when they conquered
         Ireland], fastened by a brooch ["braist" which the
         English stole when they conquered Scotland]...and a
         great twisted necklace ["torc:"  monarch's necklace,
         which the English stole when they conquered Ireland]
         Now she grasped a long spear, to strike fear into all
         who watched her..."

             Our apologizes.  Did the Anglo-Normans
             conquer Alba and Eire in order to extend
             the writ of Magna Carta to these lawless
             and God-forsaken lands?

         "Speaking of the continental Gauls, a Roman writer
         said:

         "A whole band of foreigners would not be able to
         withstand a single Gaul if he called his wife to his
         assistance, who is usually very strong, and with blue
         eyes; especially when, swelling her neck, gnashing her
         teeth, and brandishing her sallow arms of enormous
         size, she begins to strike blows mingled with kicks."

             "Oh sweet-heart if you're not too busy right
             now could you help me beat the crap out of the
             Etruscan rugby team?"

             "I'll be right there honey.  The other
             Women-of-courage and I are just finishing tidying
             up after wiping out another invasion of Gallda by
             the Sasunnach."

         "Although removed from the forefront of battle, women
         maintained their equality in Scotland.  In the 17th
         century C.E. women led the riots against the
         imposition of Episcopalianism in the Presbyterian
         southwest.  In the 19th century, women armed with
         stone filled stockings battled against police and
         Royal Marines during the Clearances and Crofting
         disturbances."

         (Archibald, March\April 1996, pp. 20, 22, and 26)

         "Maybe more significant was the presence of a crowd of
         serving women (at the Kirk of Saint (St.) Giles square
         in the center of Edinburgh's High Street)."

         "Perhaps they had been hired to keep a place for the
         nobility;  perhaps they had been paid for a more
         sinister purpose; or perhaps they were ordinary
         church-goers, angry with events.  Whatever their
         motive, these women were to stir the conscience of a
         nation, help create a dynamic kirk and, incidently,
         cost a king a crown and his head [there seems to be a
         connection between severed heads (humourously called
         "acorns") and women]."

         "When the dean rose to read from the prayer book, it
         was the women who led the protests.  "Traitors, belly
         gods and deceivers!"  they yelled.  When a gentleman
         mumbled a quiet amen to the dean's prayer, a woman
         turned on him.  "Traitor!"  she shrieked.  Dost thou
         say mass in my Lug?"  She whacked him in the face with
         her Bible.  The dean was attacked and his white
         surplice ripped from him as the women threw their
         Bibles."

         "The disturbance rose to a riot.  "Deile colic the
         wame o' ye!" shouted one woman.  As the Bishop of
         Edinburgh spoke from the pulpit, another cried, "Pull
         him down!  Stone him!"  Eventually, soldiers thrust
         the rioters from the kirk, but they remained outside,
         hammering at the great doors and hurling stones at the
         windows until the bishop left, to be chased and stoned
         by the mob."

         "The St. Giles riot was not an isolated incident.
         Clergymen throughout Edinburgh were heckled and
         pursued by angry women, and that evening the bishop
         was again stoned.  This was no spontaneous outburst
         but a well-organized expression of public feeling."

         "In a fleet of requisitioned colliers, [The Marquis
         of] Hamiliton's planned sail north was stalled by the
         discomfiture of [The Marquis of] Huntly.  Instead, he
         tried the Forth, but this was worse.  Those formidable
         women of Edinburgh had been at it again, building a
         defensive wall around the town and the port of Leith,
         which also had a boom."

         "When Hamilton entered the Firth [sic], the beacon
         fires were flaring from Fife Ness to the Queensferry.
         Not only that, but a lady Marchioness was riding at
         the head of her troops, fully armed with pistol and
         carbine and threatening to personally shoot Hamilton
         if he landed.  That must have been particularly
         discouraging to Hamilton...because the lady was his
         own mother!"

         Later they were the leaders of the Pictish province of
         Cat [Cath:  Battle, Battalion, Fight, Struggle,
         Contest, Company of soldiers, and\or Army] = Clann
         Chattan [Cath; -an:  plural; Clann of Soldiers,
         Champions, and\or Warriors and\or Clanns of
         Battle)] = Clann Gunnr and\or Gunn.  Gunnr is
         Norwegian for War.

         When the Vikings overran the North Highlands, Clann
         Gunnr (Cath) was the royal house of the Pictish
         province of Cat and led the stay-behind team that
         fought the Vikings to a stand-still.  No small
         achievement.  Unfortunately, Clann Gunnr (Cath) didn't
         write the history books.  The Anglo-Normans did.  In
         fact, Clann Gunnr doesn't seem to have learned to
         read until 1964.  That would explain the use of Clann
         Gunnr instead of Clann Cath and\or Deagh Cheann Tighe.

         Don't confuse Clann Gunnr (the tribe of Cat and\or
         Cath of the Pictish province of Cat) with those Scots
         who dream about a return of the long-boats to Loch
         Ness, manned by the descendants of the Fair Maid of
         Norway - Team Margaret and who hold Viking-days every
         Oktober Fest.  They're about as dazed and confused as
         the English of today who dress up as Roman legionaires
         forgetting what their ancestors did to the forces of
         Rome in the Teutoburg Forest.  Most of the modern Viking
         Clann Wannabee live in the Shetland Islands and don't
         present a threat to Celtic civilization.  They're not
         the same as Clann Gunnr except for a shared
         Scandinavian heritage and Norwegian language.  We hope
         Clann Gunnr reclaims its Celtic heritage, soon.

         The "Q" sound at the beginning of the names for the
         Quruithin in the Western Highlands by the second
         century C.E. had changed into a "C" sound (Caereni and
         Cerones).  This change is a feature of the Q-Celtic
         (V-Celtic) of Eriu, not the P-Celtic (F-Celtic) of
         enslaved Southern Prydein.  All things considered, the
         Lowlands, the North Highlands, the Western Highlands,
         and part of the Southern Uplands, were occupied by
         people from Eire at the time of Ptolemy - about 140
         C.E.  Only Caledonia (the Central Highlands) and
         possibly part of the North Highlands (Ross-shire,
         [Siorrachd and\or Siorramachd:  Sheriffdom, County,
         and\or Office of Sheriff; Rois (Ros):  arable land,
         isthmus, promontory, and\or peninsula - a pre-Lady
         Thatcher administrative unit) remained free of the
         Irish.

         On the other hand, the later Iron Age La Tene Celts
         (speakers of P-Celtic) in Gaul (the area of
         present-day France), Southern Britain (the area of
         present-day England), Caledonia, Cornwall, the Isle of
         Man, and Wales, changed the Qu sound to a P sound.

         creator = "Cruithear" [Cruith; -fhear:  man].  The
         speakers of Q-Celtic in Eueriio sometimes changed the
         P sound at the beginning of some words, to a C sound.
         The Brigantes in Southeastern Eueriio probably spoke
         P-Celtic when they migrated from Britain to Ireland.
         This would explain some of the words in A' Ghaeilge
         that start with a P sound and aren't later loan-words.

         Hallstatt Celts.  Considering that the Coriondi were
         in Southern Ireland and were not Goidelic, the
         connection between Clann Mackay and the language of
         Southern Ireland, and the Partholan being in the North

             one of the most important gods in the pantheon.
             As such [a god of distinct character], Baal
             designated the universal god of fertility, and in
             that capacity his title was Prince, Lord of the
             Earth.  He was also called Lord of Rain and Dew,

             later New Kingdom in about 1,400 B.C.E. to its end
             (1,075 B.C.E.).  Through the influence of the
             Aramaeans, who borrowed the Babylonian
             pronunciation Bel, the god utimately became known
             as the Greek Belos [the Scotti being influenced by

             "In the formative stages of Israel's history, the
             presence of Baal names did not necessarily mean

             had a son named Ishbaal (I Chronicles 8:33).  For
             these early Hebrews, "Baal" designated the Lord of
             Israel, just as "Baal" farther north designated
             the Lord of Lebanon or of Ugarit.  What made the
             very name Baal anathema to the Israelites was the
             programme of Jeze-bel, in the 9th century B.C.E.
             [the time of the Hallstatt Culture of the Danube
             River], to introduce into Israel her Phoenician
             cult of Baal in opposition to the official worship
             of Yahweh (I Kings 18)"

             The name Bil-hah contains a form of Bel (Baal) as
             does the name Jeze-bel and both are related to the
             Greek words "Belus" and\or "Belos" (THE NEW
             ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, Micropaedia, 2003, vol.

         "the word `Scota' (the [Egyptian] Pharaoh's
         daughter), which we find is not a person's
         name at all, but is indeed a Greek word,
         meaning `shadow,' `secrecy,' `darkness' and
         `obscurity.'  The great stone (Lia Faileas
         and\or Lia Fail), we recall, was described
         as being round and hollowed, so it should
         come as no surprise to us to learn that the
         word `Scota' is an archaic architectural
         term which was used to describe a sunken
         moulding, or a hollow, so called from the
         dark shadow it casts.  In other words, our
         Lia Faileas."

         "Scota, the daughter of an Egyptian
         Pharaoh; both cautiously identified by
         Egyptologist Lorraine Evans in her book
         "Kingdom of the Ark" as Princess
         Meritaten and her father, Pharaoh Akhenaten."

         "Scota is supposed to have fled Egypt with her
         Greek husband Gathelos (Gaidheal-os), or Gaidelon
         (Goidel-on and\or Gaidheal-on), and his followers
         sometime around 1,335 B.C.E. following a rebellion
         in which Akhenaten was overthrown by Horemheb, the
         army commander."

         "Some intriguing evidence of an Egyptian contact
         and influence during this period does appear to
         have been found in Tara, Ireland...Bronze Age
         inhumation...with a bronze age dagger and pin, and
         wearing a necklace of Egyptian `Faience' beads.
         These beads, a type of ceramic, were found to be of
         genuine Egyptian origin and were quite unknown in
         Northern Europe.  The skeleton was carbon dated to
         c. 1,350 B.C."

         "The Ancient Egyptians believed that a human being
         consisted of five separate parts or elements (dail
         = portions)...The shadow of the body was considered
         an important and integral part of an individual and
         its name, according to Egyptologists, was the
         `shut'...In the Celtic languages we have Welsh
         (A' Cuimrig) `ysgod,' Goidelic (Irish) `sgath' and
         Cornish (Cornghall [Corn:  Curl and\or plait; -ghall
         (gall):  foreigner and\or stranger = Curly (-haired)
         strangers (curly hair is oft-times plaited)

              "Equally do the classic authorities agree in
              recognizing the `Silures' of South [Cuimridh]
              as an entirely different race from any other
              in Britain.  The dark complexions and curly
              hair of these Iberians [Hamito-Semites and\or
              Afro-Asians] seemed to Tacitus to prove them
              immigrants from Spain.  (Squire, 2001, pp.
              22)

         `scod'...and we are already aware of the Greek word
         `scota.'  Could our word `Scota' have developed,
         perhaps via Greek, from a metamorphosed form of the
         Egyptian word `Shut,' the `spiritual shadow' of a
         person?  It's not impossible.  We cannot be sure at
         this distance in time just how the ancient Egyptians
         pronounced many of their words.  They may have
         pronounced the SH in the word `shut' with a quite
         discernible gutteral sound.  A bit like Schut (CH as
         in loch) or Schot.  Indeed, the [Sassunnaich] English
         word `shade' was itself originally written `sceadu.'

         "The Gaelic words, Lia Faileas and\or Lia Fail and
         the Greek word Scota or Scotia mean the same thing
         in the end...

         "There are two principal races of the Britons, the
         Caledonians and the Maeatae [Meadhan: Middle and
         -tighe:  house; a middle district is an Irish
         development], and the names of the others have been
         merged in these two.  The Maeatae live next to the
         cross-wall [the Antonine Wall] which cuts the island
         in half, and the Caledonians are beyond them [in the
         Highlands].  Both tribes inhabit wild and waterless
         mountains and desolate and swampy plains, and possess
         neither walls, cities, nor tilled fields, but live on
         their flocks, wild game, and certain fruits; for they
         do not touch the fish which are there found in immense
         and inexhaustible quantities.  They dwell in tents,
         naked and unshod, possess their women in common
         [matrilineal descent], and in common rear all the
         offspring [fosterage and the Boy Troop]. Their form of
         rule is democratic [gathering of the clanns] for the
         most part, and they are very fond of plundering [goid,
         goidel, Gaidheal]; consequently they choose their
         boldest men as rulers ["Treun-," "Calgach-," "-cus,"
         "-mor," "-ghais," -gus," and "Aon-"].  They go into
         battle in chariots [the TAIN BO CHUAILGNE was not
         plagerized from Greek literature by lonely monks with
         too much time on their hands], and have small, swift
         horses; there are also foot-soldiers, very swift in
         running and very firm in standing their ground.  For
         arms they have a shield and a short spear, with a
         bronze apple attached to the end of the spear-shaft,
         so that when it is shaken it may clash and terrify the
         enemy; and they also have [biodagan] daggers.  They
         can endure hunger and cold and any kind of hardship;
         for they plunge into the swamps and exist there for
         many days with only their heads above water, and in
         the forests they support themselves upon bark and
         roots, and for all emergencies they prepare a certain
         kind of food, the eating of a small portion of which,
         the size of a bean [the fungus, Spindler, 1994, pp.
         113-116, 168 and 169], prevents them from feeling
         either hunger or thirst" (Murray, January 2006,
         Septimius Severus: The Caledonian Campaign -
         Caracalla, section Dio Cassius explains that:)

         "When the inhabitants of the island again revolted
         [209-211 C.E.], he summoned the soldiers and ordered
         them to invade the rebels' country, killing everybody
         they met [Brighid's Acorn Crop]; and he quoted these
         words:  "Let no one escape sheer destruction, No one
         our hands, not even the babe in the womb of the
         mother, If it be male; let it nevertheless not escape
         sheer destruction" [Septimius Severus appears to have
         been a devout Christian and\or Jew who knew his Bible
         and\or Mikra (Tanakh)].  When this had been done, and the
         Caledonians had joined the revolt of the Maeatae, he
         began preparing to make war upon them in person.
         (Murray, January 2006, Septimius Severus:  The
         Caledonian Campaign - Caracalla, section Dio Cassius
         explains that:)

         The phrase "inhabitants of the island" is different
         than the name "Britons" which refers to those in
         Scotland (a pre-Lady Thatcher nation on the island of
         Britain), beyond the pale of Rome.  So, the phrase
         "rebel's country" may refer to other tribes' land in
         the Southern Uplands, Strathclyde [Srath:  Low-lying
         or flat part of a valley district or farm; The low,
         inhabited part of a country, in contra-distinction to
         its hilly ground; Dell, Marshy ground; Meadow; Any
         low-lying country along a river; Plain beside a river;
         and\or Valley through which a river runs; Chluaidh
         (Cluain):  Burying ground; Lawn; Meadow, Green field;
         Ambush; Pasture, Pacification], and even
         Northumberland.  Although, the phrase "and the
         Caledonians had joined the revolt of the Maeatae,"
         would allow for the Maeatae to have already been
         annihilated by that time and "the island" may refer to
         Scotland North of "the cross-wall," for the emporer of
         Rome itself to come to Britain to handle a revolt, the
         "inhabitants of the island" who "revolted" were Roman
         subjects.  The "rebel's country" was probably Srath
         Chluaidh" and the land between the Hadrian Wall to the
         South and the Antonine Wall to the North.

         The reason why there was a Pax Romana for the next 100
         years was because the warriors of the Maeatae (Na
         Fineachan (Venicones) Gaidhealach (Taezali) =
         Fianna-Eireann] and later, Miathi] were still balanced
         by the Roman forces on their frontier.  The "rebel's
         country" who's inhabitants were exterminated, had been
         on the Roman side of the frontier.
         
         During the 100 years of peace along the frontier, the
         Cruithin in the North Highlands [Lugi:  Clann MacKay
         and Decantae (Deagh-chean-tighe):  Clann Gunnr] and
         Northwest Highlands [Caereni and Cerones] united with
         the Miathi and formed the Pictish nation known as
         Cruithin-tuatha in Irish and Southern Pictland in
         English.  Clann Brodie (the Northern Picts in their
         deer-park up around Inbhir-neas) were united with the
         Southern Picts in 560 C.E. by Righ Brude Mac Maelchom.
         The capital of the Southern Picts and later all Picts,
         was at Scone (Sgain).  Because Clann Gunnr has always
         been in the North Highlands in the area of the
         Decantae and the capital of the Southern Picts and all
         of Pictland was in Sgain far to the South, Clann Gunnr
         is probably not the Royal family of the Picts.

         The Picts were probably called Picts by the Romans
         because of their use of the oghum alphabet.

         The Cruithin-tuatha in the North Highlands and
         Northwest Highlands formed the Pictish province of
         Cat and continued fighting much later as Clann
         Chattan and are still fighting today as Clann Gunnr
         - the last of the Picts - even though Clann Gunnr is
         a broken clann.  Clann MacKay, Clann Graham, and Clann
         Kennedy are also desecendants of the Picts.

         Going by the record, Clann MacDonald and Clann Graham
         have the strongest claims to the Pictish monarchy.
         Then Clann Kennedy.

         Clann Gunnr would be less frustrated by purchasing
         a wee bit of its former land in the North
         Highlands, re-establishing its Proto-Celtic
         (Hallstadt) wheat-farming heritage, and then
         reclaiming its title of Deagh Cheann-tighe of the
         Pre-Pictish Quruithin and later Pictish province of
         Cath.  Of course, when it comes to Clann Chatten,
         Clann Gunnr would have to accept being part of a
         rotating Chiefship in this more modern and democratic
         confederation.

         Yet, Clann Gunnr still has a lot to be furious and\or
         wrathful about.  The B.B.C. has redrawn the old Roman
         map to now show that the Caledonii (Clann Brodie) were
         in the North Highlands and the Western Highlands,
         thereby, literally covering up Clann Gunnr
         (the Decantae).  The B.B.C. has also changed the "z"
         in Taezali, from the map to an "x," thereby hiding the
         Irish presence in the Lowlands.  Clann Gunnr has
         enough to rage about to keep themselves occupied for
         the next 100 years.  We won't be surprised when the
         B.B.C. also denies the Phoenician (Fineachan) element
         in Eire by "proving" that Na Fineachan Gaidhealach
         could have been ancient astronauts (extraterrestrial
         Nordics) looking for Billy "the Kid" Meier.

              The word Perth in Albainn is A' Cuimrig for
              Quruith (-in) = Cruithin.  The area of
              Perth-shire (a pre-Lady Thatcher administrative
              unit) was part of the land of the Taezali
              [Taidh-Gaidheil (one of the three names of the
              Irish)-i] and Venicones (Fine-achan (one of the
              three names of the Irish)] from at least the time
              of Claudius Ptolemaeus in about 140 C.E.
              Historicallly, a son of Perth [Quruith and\or
              Cruithne], named Fortrenn [For = Fear (Man) and
              -trenn = -treun] was king of a Pictish province
              in that area with the same name.  Fortrenn
              included Strathearn [Strath = Srath (Low-lying or
              flat part of a valley district or farm, the Low -
              inhabited part of a country - in

              -Eireann = -Ireland, in Southern Perth-shire].

              Fortrenn is a variation of Trenfher. "[The God]
              Ogma was also known as Trenfher, "strong man," or
              champion; he was a hero of the Tuath de Danann.
              He held a valued place in their fighting army and
              is mentioned as nearly as often as the [God] Dagda
              [Dag (Dabhach = Large tub, Mashing vat, and\or
              Vat" the mystical cauldron of plenty" -da, dagh,
              and\or deagh (good, excellent, and\or worthy):
              Good-Cauldron] for his warrior prowess."
              (O'Brien, 2005, pp. 44, 59 and 60 and Dwelly,
              1994, pp. 305, 306, 310, 313, 315, and 978).

              The pre-Hellenic Greeks were the
              non-Indo-European Anatolians (Asiatics:  the
              Hattians, the Hurrians, and the Urartians).  In
              the poems of Homer, they and\or their descendants
              were called Danaans.  (Lang, Leaf, and Myers,
              1996, pp. 11 and 15)  Their descendants were part
              the Afro-Asiatic (Hamito-Semitics) nation.  Some
              of the non-Indo-European Anatolians migrated up
              the Danube River which was named for them and
              later were part of the Hallstadt Celts.
              Therefore, different ancient people in the
              British Isles who migrated there from Western
              Europe (Clann Brodie) and the Mediterranian (the
              Scotti) would share certain characteristics.

              "Danaus, in Greek legend, [was] son of Belus,
              king of Egypt"...(THE NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA
              BRITANNICA, 2003, Micropaedia, vol. 3, p. 871).

              Furthermore, "Dan [was], one of the 12 tribes of
              Israel (an Afro-Asiatic [Hamito-Semitic] nation).
              The tribe was named after the first of two sons
              born to Jacob (also called Israel) and Bil-hah,
              the maidservant of Jacob's second wife, Rachel"
              (THE NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 2003,
              Micropaedia, vol. 3, p. 870).

              The name Bil-hah contains a form of Bel (Baal) as
              does the name Jeze-bel and both are related to
              the Greek words "Belus" and\or "Belos" (THE NEW
              ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, Micropaedia, 2003, vol.
              2, pp. 55 and 762).

              "Modern Uses:  Mother Goddess, magical ancestor.
              Goddess of Soil and irrigation.  Protector of the
              land.  Goddess of fertility and bounty.  Great
              Queen of all, mate of the Dagda."

              "She [the goddess Danu] is interconnected with
              Anu, who is credited with the great prosperity of
              Munster [in Fodhla].  A fertility and land
              goddess, without a doubt, we can see to this day
              the two mountain tops called Da Chich nAnann,
              which means the two "paps of Anu"...It is
              interesting to note that the pronunciation of Da
              Chich nDanaan is exactly the same as Da Chich
              nAnann, as the D falls silent...If Anu is a later
              form of Danu, the name might have come from a
              connection between the land's fertility and the
              word anae, which meant "wealth" [Sumer was in the
              Fertile Cresent and was wealthy as a result of
              this connection].

              "Danu was possibly viewed in triplicate form.
              Her followers were named as fir tri nDea, which
              means either "men of the three gods" or "men of
              the three goddesses."  There are also many
              mentions of the "three gods of Danu."  This may
              be a later development, as O'Rahilly puts forth,
              but also may be evidence of the goddess in
              triplicate form."

              "Bel (Akkadian), Sumerian Enlil [En-Lil and\or

              [En-u and\or An-u, a possible contraction of
              Enlil] and Ea (Enki [En-ki])."

              "Although An (Anu) was the highest god [Irish:
              Mother Goddess and Great Queen of all?] in the
              Sumerian pantheon, Enlil [Bel] had a more
              important role...Enlil [Bel] was also the god of
              agriculture...Another myth relates Enlil's
              (Bel's) rape of his consort Nin-lil (Akkadian:
              Belit [Irish:  Bel and Anu, two of aspects of the
              triplicate form?]), a grain goddess...This myth
              reflects the agricultural cycle of fertilization,
              ripening" [Irish Goddess of fertility and
              bounty?]

              "The name of his [Enlil's] Akkadian counterpart,
              Bel, is derived from the Semitic word baal, or
              "lord."  Bel had all the attributes of Enlil, and
              his status and cult were much the same."

              (THE NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 2003,
              Micropaedia, vol. 2, p. 55)

              "Baal, god worshipped in many ancient Middle
              Eastern [Afro-Asiatic and\or Hamito-Semitic]
              communities, especially among the Canaanites, who
              apparently considered him a fertility diety and
              one of the most important gods in the pantheon.
              As such [a god of distinct character], Baal
              designated the universal god of fertility, and in
              that capacity his title was Prince, Lord of the
              Earth.  He was also called Lord of Rain and Dew,
              the two forms of moisture that were indispensable
              for fertile soil [Irish:  Goddess of Soil and
              irrigation?] in Canaan.  In Ugaritic [Northern
              Syria] and Old Testament Hebrew, Baal's epithet
              as the storm god was He Who Rides on the Clouds.
              In Phoenician he was called Baal Shamen, Lord of
              the Heavens."

              "But Baal was not exclusively a fertility god.
              He was also king of the gods" [Irish Danu\Anu:
              Mother Goddess and Great Queen of all?]"

              "The worship of Baal was popular in Egypt from
              the later New Kingdom in about 1,400 B.C.E. to
              its end (1,075 B.C.E.).  Through the influence of
              the Aramaeans, who borrowed the Babylonian
              pronunciation Bel, the god utimately became known
              as the Greek Belos [the Scotti being influenced
              by both the Greeks and the Egyptians], identified
              with Zeus."

              "In the formative stages of Israel's history, the
              presence of Baal names did not necessarily mean
              apostasy or even syncretism.  The Judge Gideon
              was also named Jerubaal (Judges 6:32) and King
              Saul had a son named Ishbaal (I Chronicles 8:33).
              For these early Hebrews, "Baal" designated the
              Lord of Israel, just as "Baal" farther north
              designated the Lord of Lebanon or of Ugarit.
              What made the very name Baal anathema to the
              Israelites was the programme of Jeze-bel, in the
              9th century B.C.E. [the time of the Hallstatt
              Culture of the Danube River], to introduce into
              Israel her Phoenician cult of Baal in opposition
              to the official worship of Yahweh (I Kings 18)"

              Driven out of Egypt by his brother, he fled with
              his 50 daughters [the Danaids] to Argos [Greece],
              where he became king" (THE NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA

              The earliest history of the Scotti.

              In the first book of the ILIAD composed during
              the 9th or 8th century B.C. (which was the time
              of the Hallstatt Celts from up around the Danube
              river), the Greek poet Homer wrote:

                  "So said he [Agamemnon], and the old man
                  [Chryses, a priest of the God Apollo] was
                  afraid and obeyed his word, and fared
                  silently along the shore of the
                  loud-sounding sea.  Then went the aged
                  man apart and prayed aloud to King Apollo
                  [a God], whom [the Goddess] Leto of the
                  fair locks bare [= Apollo MacLeto
                  UaFairLocks]:  "Hear me, god of the
                  silver bow, that standest over Chryse and
                  holy Killa, and rulest Tenedos with
                  might, O Smintheus!  If ever I built a
                  temple gracious in thine eyes, or if ever
                  I burnt to thee fat flesh of thighs of
                  bulls or goats, fulfil thou this my
                  desire; let the Danaans pay by thine
                  arrows for my tears."

              A God (Apollo) had the human attributes of a king
              or a king was deified. The pre-Hellenic Greeks
              (Danaans = the Afro-Asiatic and\or Hamito-Semetic
              tribe of Dan) from the mouths of the Danube River
              were diefied as the Tuatha De Danaan in Irish
              history and\or were named after one of their
              Dieties (Dana and\or Anu). So, it can't be stated
              with certainty, that the Irish champion of the
              Coille-Daoine (Britons) at the Battle of Mons
              Graupius was the God Ogma (Trenfher) himself who
              had the attributes of a Celtic Battle-Chief or
              was a Celt who had taken on God-like attributes
              by the means of shamanistic practices (or the
              Irish witch-craft revealed by O'Brien).  Or, he
              may have just been the most bad-ass Irish-man to
              have ever walked the face of the Earth.

     A vowel is pronounced between the "c" and the "n" in
     Vennicnii ("The combination of lingual consonants with
     labials and also g and ch is noted in that they
     interpolate an added vowel sound between them and one
     generally correspondent to the preceding vowel.  Thus, the

     the year 685 C.E., by the descendants of the Venicones
     (Fianna Eireann who went to Alba to mix it up with the
     Romans), Tribes of War is probably the most accurate
     rendering.  However, many words have double meanings.  For
     example, "running" a programme on a computer.  The Tribes
     of War (Vennicnii = The Fianna Eireann) were also the
     Chieftainship of Eire.

                        Eu-ro-pe     is just dropped

           Note:  The t sound became softened by being between
                  two vowel sounds: ui-t-i and in A' Cuimrig it
                  became a d.  In Goidelic it became silent and
                  is spelled th.  There is no single proper way
                  to pronounce it even today and the names:
                  Bran and Brian may be variations of Britain,
                  Prydein, Cruithin, and Quruithin.  Cruithne
                  is pronounced:  Croony and Brithain would be
                  pronounced:  Brian and\or Bran.  At one time,
                  the Quruithin were everywhere in the British
                  Isles and to separate Scot from Finn and
                  Gael and Cruithin and Clann Gunnr from Clann
                  Brodie and Clann Graham is splitting hairs,
                  only made possible by the passage of time - a
                  lot of time.

  Menapii = ?; -nap- may represent -neachd:  -tribe and\or
            -tribes.  In Brythonic, map (son) = mac, which
            earlier was pronounced and spelled macc, maq and
            maqq.

  Ui Bairrche = Ui:  From, Grandchildren of, and\or Out of;
                Bairrche and\or Bairche:  Brave = Grandchildren
                of [the] Brave.

  Ui Failge = Ui:  From, Grandchildren of, and\or Out of; Fail:
              Noble and\or King; -ge:  goidil and\or gaoil:
              family and\or kindred = Grandchildren of kindred
              of a King.  Maybe The Royal Family of Erinn.  An
              "i" is sometimes inserted into words in order to
              indicate the plural = Grandchildren of kindred of
              Kings (a royal race)

  Ui Maic Cairthinn = Ui:  From, Grandchildren of, and\or Out
                      of.  Maic:  Sons; Cairthin = Cruithinn:
                      Grandchildren of Sons of Cruithin = Clann
                      Curtin.  This clann is still in its
                      original Irish homeland.  Not a small
                      achievement, considering the English
                      (German descendants, the real odd-man out
                      of Irish history) Plantation of Ulaidh
                      in the 17th Century C.E.  They are truly
                      the Clann Brodie of Eire.

                      The letters "ai" after the "C" in
                      Cairthinn, demonstrate that the original
                      spelling of Cruithin is Quruithin.
                      Furthermore, the names of two tribes in
                      the Western Highlands:  Caereni and
                      Cerones and in Eire, the Coranians,
                      Coriondi, and Partholon too, are
                      variations of Quruithin, clearly
                      demonstrating that the original
                      pronunciation is Quruithinn.

  Ui Enechglaiss = Ui:  Grandchildren of; Enech:  ?; -glaiss:
                   become green, grey, or pale; sallow;
                   hoariness; make grey; make pale; green;

                   = the Tuatha De Danaan (Gods) and\or the
                   B.B.C.'s "Greys" (ancient astronauts from
                   the planet Reticulum 4 orbiting the star
                   Zeta 2 Reticuli).

     4.  Hibernia = h:  "Before an initial vowel, h is
                    sometimes inserted and sometimes not, after
                    certain words.  In Skye [Sloc (Hollow,

                    and\or Pit) -buidhe (Golden, Yellow, and\or
                    Yellow-colour)], the tendency is to insert
                    that letter as shown by Mary MacPherson
                    (Moire NicMuirich) in her book of poems -
                    after prepositions"(18) -Ib [-Iob:  Cake
                    before being fired and\or Death; Iobair:
                    Sacrifice and\or Offering]; -ni [-neach:
                    person; - neachd:  family and\or tribe];
                    ia:  country = country of people of
                    Sacrifice

                    Iobhair is a very old word, indeed.
                    However, at a certain point in time, the
                    descendants of the Afro-Asiatic people, in
                    Alba at least, had switched from
                    sacrificing humans as burnt offerings (19)
                    - the infamous wicker-men - to cooking
                    oats.

                    Sacrificing humans may have started with
                    cooking and eating monkeys and other
                    primates.  Then, Homo sapiens
                    Neanderthalis.  It's highly unlikely that
                    Neanderthals were cannibals.  More likely,
                    Homo sapiens sapiens and\or Cro-Magnons
                    (Homo sapiens cro-magnon) preyed upon
                    Neanderthals for food.  They may have
                    learned about religion from Neanderthal
                    captives or neighbors and consequently
                    sacrificed Neanderthals as burnt offerings
                    before eating them.  Long before
                    peak-Neanderthal our ancestors would have
                    suffered from an acute shortage of this
                    varitety of food and switched to
                    sacrificing modern humans, but of different
                    tribes (races, we mean, they weren't
                    cannibals after all) as burnt offerings.
                    Because of religeous beliefs, they probably
                    would have stopped eating their human
                    victims after a while.

                    Of course, human sacrifice couldn't last in
                    the new global community (N.G.C.) that
                    included the Sasunach (and other Germans),
                    the Roman Empire, and the Vikings.
                    Christianity was as good an excuse as any,
                    for a badly needed attitude-adjustment.

                    If words ever had meaning though, then
                    Clann Dughaill earned its name the old
                    fashioned way - becoming every Vikings'
                    worst nightmare - while helping Somairle
                    Mac GilleBrigta, Clann MacDonald, and Clann
                    Rory clean the Vikings out of the
                    Western Isles during the 12th Century C.E.

                    Samuel-like).  The Biblical Samuel was a
                    member of the tribe of Dan.  This tribe was
                    known as the Tuath de Danaan in Irish
                    history, a Phoenician (Fineachan = Finn,
                    one of the three names for the Irish) tribe
                    that settled in the British Isles and was
                    part of the Afro-Asiatic (Hamito-Semitic)
                    Quruithinn (Cruithin).  Somerled may have
                    been a direct descendant of the original
                    Afro-Asiatic settlers of the British Isles,
                    rather than a descendant of Christian or
                    Jewish converts.

                    Come From and What Happened to Them?)

                    ..."it has been widely accepted that the
                    language spoken in the South of Pictland
                    was a form of P-Celtic, rather similar to
                    that spoken by the [Breatunnaich] Britons
                    of Strathclyde [Srath Chluaidh] or the
                    early [Cuimbrich] Welsh, and that the
                    language spoken in the North (though this
                    view has somewhat fallen out of favour in
                    recent years), may have been an aboriginal
                    non-Indo-European speech:  possibly akin to
                    Basque.  Curiously, as regards the Basque
                    theory at any rate, extensive D.N.A.
                    research, carried out during 2004 by a team
                    from Trinity College, Dublin, shows
                    striking genetic affinities between the
                    [Albannaich], [Hibernian] and [Cuimbrich]
                    and the people of N.W. Spain:  in
                    particular the Basque Region and Galicia.
                    The study was published in the American
                    Journal of Human Genetics, in an article
                    entitled:  `The Longue Duree.'  (Henderson,
                    Diar Daoin 10 Faoillteach 2008, paragraph
                    3, Appendix Page 3 The Pictish Language)

     5.  Eriu (20),
         Eueriio, and\or Eire

                  = Er and\or Earr:  Noble, Heroism, Champion,
                    and\or Great; i:  island = Noble-island.
                    The first Indo-Europeans who settled the
                    Western coast of Europe and the British
                    Isles, had and still have difficulty
                    pronouncing the "Qu" sound beginning some
                    words such as "Quruithin," which was one of
                    the names of the Bronze-Age Hallstadt
                    Celtic wheat farmer\warriors who settled in
                    the Pretannic (British) Isles.  (MacGregor,
                    La-Luain 7 Iuchar 2008, paragraphs 5, 6,
                    and 7, Celtic Civilization & Languages)
                    So, some of the non-Indo-European Asiatic
                    (Anatolian) and\or Afro-Asiatc
                    (Hamito-Semitic = Phoenician) people just
                    dropped the "Q" sound.

                    The "B" sound at the beginning of the words
                    Breatunn, Breatuinn, and Britain is a later
                    softening of a "P" sound (Pretan and\or
                    Prydein) - the Pretannic Isles of the
                    pre-Hellenic (Afro-Asiatic) Greeks who are
                    called the Tuatha (Laity, Farmers,
                    Husbandmen, Tenants, Tenantry,
                    Country-people, Aggregate number of any
                    land proprietors, Peasantry) De Danann in
                    Irish history.  Some Indo-Europeans changed
                    the tongue-twisting "Qu" sound into a "P"
                    sound:  P-Celtic.

     6.  Erin (21), Erinn (22),
         Eireann (23), and\or
         Eirin (16), Eirinn    = The double n - "nn" - in some
                                 words is a feature of
                                 Albannach-Gaidhlig; genitive
                                 of Eriu, Eueriio, and Eire =
                                 Noble-island.

     7.  Inisfail (24) and
         Innis-fail (25)  = The hyphen in compounds is a
                            feature of Gaidhlig;  Inis and\or
                            Innis:  Island; fail:  genitive
                            singular of Fal and\or plural of
                            Fal:  Noble and\or King and\or
                            Nobles and\or Kings = Island of a
                            King and\or Island of Kings.

                                         or

                            A contraction of "Faileas:" Shadow,
                            Shade, Spectre, Ghost, and\or
                            Reflected Image.  It refers to the
                            shadow cast by a sunken moulding
                            and\or a hollow of a great stone
                            (Lia) talisman and\or sacred
                            throne.  "The Gaelic words, Lia
                            Faileas and\or Lia Fail and the
                            Greek word Scota or Scotia mean the
                            same thing in the end"  (Henderson,
                            Diar Daoin 10 Faoillteach 2008,
                            paragraph 12, Appendix Page 2 The
                            Stone of Destiny) = Scot-Island.

     8.  (17) Ivernia = Iobh:  Cake before being fired and\or

                        -ia:  country = country of Sacrifice.

     9.  Iweridd (26) = Cuimrig [Welsh] for Hibernia and\or
                        Ivernia.  Spain (Iberia) is more than
                        "a post-Christian euphemism for the
                        Celtic Hades."  (Squire, 2001, pp. 68,
                        120, 121, 230, 231, and 386)
