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

The aims of Na Fineachan Gaidhealach (The Kindred Gaelic) are to cultivate and help rescue from oblivion , all books and\or copies of all books of Scottish (Albannach) Gaelic (A' Ghaidhlig), Irish (A' Ghaedhilge and\or A' Ghaeilge), and\or Proto-Celtic and\or Common Celtic ( Pictish ), including but not limited to, books of the language of the:
1. Northern Picts = Caledones
and\or Caledonii [Caile:
Shield, Strength, Sense,
Spear, and\or Assembly
and\or Coille: Forest,
Grove, and\or Wood; -dhuine
and\or -daoine: people] - a
confederation of Brigantes
[Hallstadt Celts, Braigheach
(Highlanders), Brothaigh,
Brideach (Dwarf - the
Cruithin), Bridget (the
Hallstadt Goddess of Clann
Brodie and Clann Curtin),
Bride, and\or Brighid];
Northern Welsh [Breathnach,
Cruithin, Cuimbreach,
Prethnich, and\or Prydnich];
Iceni [I: Island, -ceni = cinne and\or cineadh:
nation and\or country or cinneadh and\or cinnidh:
tribe and\or clann = Island-tribe]; and Trinobantes
[Treun: Strong; -van: women; -taidh: multitude] =
Multitude of Strong Women; Fidach [Fiadhach and\or
Fiadhaidh: Fierce, Savage, Untamed, and\or Wild] =
Fiadh-dhuine: Savage and Daoine Fiadhaich: Savages =
Clann Brodie
"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)
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

(Henderson, Diar-Daoin 10 Faoillteach 2008, The List

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.'

(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:
------------------------------------
|Brude Mund (Brude Ur Mund); Moneth|
| |
| + |
| |
| Brude Fecir (Brude Ur Fecir) |
------------------------------------
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
-----------------------------------
| The Pictish Province of Circinn |
-----------------------------------
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.
==========================================================
2. Southern Picts =
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

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."
(Magee, August 2007, paragraphs 29 and 58, and August
2009, paragraph 47, (1. How Persia Created Judaism,
Jewish Mythology. AskWhy! Publications and How)

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.

Afro-Asiatic and\or Hamito-Semitic God of Clann MacKay

"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
huge overlap clearly." (McCooey, January\February
2008, p. 45) The Fianna-Eirinn from all over Ulaid
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!"
(Archibald, March/April, 2008, pp. 35, 36, and 38)

Decantae [Deagh: Good, Excellent, and\or Worthy
("Always precedes its noun, which it aspirates. It
never predicates its noun, thus you never meet with

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.
(MacGregor, La-Ciadainn 9 Iuchar 2008, paragraphs 8,
9, 10, 11, and 14, Celtic Civilization & Languages and
paragraph 1,The "Dalriadic Scots," The Origins of the
Irish Picts "Cruithne" [from the Gaelic word for
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.
Caereni [Quruithini, Cruithini, and\or Cruithne]:
Tribe of Wheat = Hallstatt Celts.
Coranians [Quruithin, Caereni, Cerones and\or
Partholon: Dwarves in A' Cuimrig (Welsh)] = Hallstatt
Celts. (Squire, 2001, p. 377)
Coriondi [Coranians: Dwarves; Squire, 2001, p. 377),
Quruithini, Cruithini, Cruithne, and\or Partholoni] =
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
Highlands, which is where Clann Mackay is, Clann
MacKay is a direct descendant of the Coriondi =
Quruithin = Hallstadt Celts. (Squire, 2001, pp. 385
and 386)
"He [Bel-inus: "Lightness" (Bel is another
name of Lucifer = Lug-fear), the brother of
Brenn-ius and\or Bran: "Darkness"] was
succeeded by Gurgiunt Brabtruc [the Gargantua of
Rabelais], who, as he was returning by way of
the Orkneys [Arcaibh] from a raid on the Danes,
met the ships of Partholon and his people [Clann
Clann MacKay and probably Clann Gunnr] as they
came from Spain to settle in Ireland."
"Bel (Akkadian), Sumerian Enlil [En-Lil and\or
An-Lil], Mesopotamian god of the atmosphere and a
member of the triad of gods completed by Anu [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?]"...
"Danaus, in Greek legend, son of Belus, king of
Egypt, and twin brother of Aegyptus [Egypt].
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
BRITANNICA, 2003, Micropaedia, vol. 3, p. 871).
The earliest history of the Scotti.
"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."
"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).
"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)"
(THE NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 2003,
Micropaedia, vol. 2, p. 762)
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).
Cerones [Quruithini, Cruithin, and\or Cruithne] Tribe
of Wheat = Hallstatt Celts.
Note: The third name of the Old Irish is Scot. Scotland
is named after the Dal Riata who were from Eire.
"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...

paragraphs 8, 10, 12, 18, 19, and 21, Appendix II

"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 aims of Na Fineachan Gaidhealach also include cultivating and helping to rescue from oblivion the Gaidhealach languages themselves and their antecendants - including but not limited to:

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
contra-distinction to its hilly ground, Dell,
Marshy ground, Meadow, Any low-lying country
along a river, Plain beside a river, Valley
through which a river runs) and -earn and\or
-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."
(O'Brien, 2005, pp. 46 and 47)
"Bel (Akkadian), Sumerian Enlil [En-Lil and\or
An-Lil], Mesopotamian god of the atmosphere and a
member of the triad of gods completed by Anu
[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)"
(THE NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 2003,
Micropaedia, vol. 2, p. 762)
"Danaus, in Greek legend, son of Belus, king of
Egypt, and twin brother of Aegyptus [Egypt].
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
BRITANNICA, 2003, Micropaedia, vol. 3, p. 871).
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
combinations lb, lch, lg, lm, lp, and so on, interpolate
this distinct drawl vowel between them. Falbh (faluv);
Alba (Alabu); tilg [tchilik] etc." MacLaren, 1998, p. 15)
Alternative translations of Vennicnii are: Venni:
Fine (Tribes); -cn: -cheann(-as) (chieftainship); and
-ii: of = Chieftainship of Tribes (technically, Eire's
first Ard (High) Righ (King) may have been Ogma (Fortrenn,
Treunmor, and\or Trenfher); Fine (Tribes); -con(as):
battle, fight, dispute, quarrel, and\or war; -ii = Tribes
of War. Given the use of the name Neachdainn (Tribes) in
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.

opportunity of a life-time to fix her Royal
Majesty's Irish troubles. Australia and the other
colonies obviouly didn't do the trick.
Fir Bholg = Fir: Men; Bhol = Skill, Art, and\or Poet:

the genitive; for example, the name MacDonald
is also Domhnullach and\or Lugdoch [one's
native country] = Chieftain ("Chieftain is a
strictly territorial title, always related to
a place" (Johnson and Bacon, 1981, p. 22) of
Lug (the religious). The Lugdach were one of
the three powerful classes of Celtic society.
Cruithin [Quruithin and\or Cruithne] = Indo-Europeans. The
root of the words: Breatunn, Breatuinn, Britain,
Erin, Erinn, Eriu, Eueriio, Eire, Eireann, Eirin,
Europe, Pretan, and Prydein.
Qu-ruithin = P-rydein = Q-Celtic\P-Celtic
That darn Qu sound
is changed to a P
sound
Qur-uithin = Par-tholon = Q-Celtic\P-Celtic
The softening of
that darn Qu sound
Qu-ruithin = C-ruithin = in Gaidhealach
Qu-ruithin = C-ruithne = in Gaidhealach
Q-uruithin = E-rin and = That darn Qu sound
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.

Names of Eire
-------------
1. Banba (16) = Ban: genitvie plural of bean (Female
and\or Woman) - ba and\or bath: the sea,
slaughter, death, massacre, and\or murder
= Women-of-slaughter (female-warriors)
2. Fail (17) = genitive singular of Fal = of a Noble
and\or King and\or plural of Fal = Nobles
and\or 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 [Gaidhealach] 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) = Scots and\or Scotti (one of the
three names of the Irish)
3. Fotla (15) and\or Fodhla
(Foladh and\or Folladh)
= Fo: Below, Beneath, Sovereign, Honour,
Regard, Esteem, Under, Powerful, and\or
King; Fod: Science, Skill, and\or Art;
Fodh: Skillfulness and\or Knowledge; Fodh
(-dhuine): Farmer, Dwarf, and\or
Ploughman; - dlige: law, duty, and\or
ordinance; Foladh: Power; Folladh:
Government; Fodhla: Learned (Squire,
2001, p. 231 by Eochaid O'Flynn, about
1,400 C.E., BOOK OF BALLYMOTE) = Learned
Dwarf Law and\or Powerful Farmer
Government
4. Hibernia = h: "Before an initial vowel, h is
sometimes inserted and sometimes not, after
certain words. In Skye [Sloc (Hollow,
Hold, Hole, Dungeon, Dell, Den, Ditch,
Grave, Gutter, Cavity, Marsh, Plough, Pool,
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.
Du and\or Dubh [Black, Blackness, Blacken,
Blot out, Habitation, Land, Stain, Sad,
Dark, Dark-haired, Darkness, Darken,
Disastrous, Country, Mournful, Place of
Abode, and\or Wicked]
-gail (goil and\or goill [Bravery,
Bloodshed, Battle, Boil with rage, Fume,
Fight, Fury, Slaughter, Shield, Smoke,
Chivalry, Rage, Any cause of grief,
Prowess, Power, Valour, and\or War])
Somerled and\or Somhairle: the Old
Testament Biblical name: Samuel -e, -ed,
and\or -ed and\or -edh = like, as, ish:
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.
Gillebrigta (Gille [Boy, Lad, Man-servant,
Ploughman, and\or Youth] -brigta [Benifit,
Strength, Sap, Substance, Capacity,
Essence, Energy, Pith, Valour, Vigour,
Virtue] = Samuel-like Son [of a]
Man-servant [of] Valour and\or Son [of a]
Man-servant or Gille-Brighde
[Oyster-catcher and\or Sea-piet = "Guide of
Bridget"]; Gillebrigta and\or Gille-Brighde
may have been the name of the Boy Troop and
under the protection of the Goddess Brighid
before any of the Albannaich and
Eireannaich switched to Christianity or
Judaism)
Cu-Chulainn: "Why are the MacDougalls
burning all the Santa
Clauses, Scathach?"
Scathach (Scot):
"They're making a list,
Checking it twice,
Trying to find out,
Who's naughty or nice,
Santa Clauses are Wicker Men,
My hound."
King (Righ) Conchobar also earned his name
the old fashioned way. Con and\or Conch
(Wolf) -obar (-iobhair [-iberian]),
Conachar (Conhower, and\or Connor; Squire,
2001, n. 1, p. 1), and\or Concharra
(Dog-like) and\or (Wolf [of] Iberians),
and\or Connor Mac Nessa (Ni-Asa (Ni [Not]
-Asa [-Asa and\or -Fasa [Easier]; -Furas,
and\or -Furasda [Easy] and\or [of]
[easy-accomplishment] = Not-Easy): the
name of Connor's mother - primitive Irish
social relations were surprisingly modern
in some ways - and\or Connor Mac Nessa
(Wolf of Hiberians Son [of] Not-Easy).
Connor and his mum Nessa give an idea of
what bad-asses the Irish used to be.
In addition to the Finn [Fineachan =
Phoenician], Scotti, and Tuath de Danaan,
other Afro-Asiatic (Hamito-Semitic) people
with a connection to Eire include: Basques
[Celt-Iberians], Bel-gae, and Iberians.
(MacGregor, La-Luain 7 Iuchar 2008,
paragraph 1, Forward and pargraph 12,
Celtic Civilization & Languages and Y-DNA
Testing as well)
"In her work, published in 2000, Ms Evans,
an Egyptologist, pursues and cultivates her
persuasive view that ancient Egyptians (the
Fail and\or the Scotti) came to settle in
[Breatunn] Britain, and in particular
[Alba] Scotland and [Banba]. `We are now
left with one final enigma. Very high
frequencies of [group] O blood, similar to
those found in much of [Cuimridh],
[Albainn] and [Fotla], are rarely
encountered.' Apart from a few islands in
the Aegean Sea and pockets in the Western
Caucasus, [Mr.] Irwin Morgan-Watkins
([Cuimreach] Welsh geneticist and author of
ABO BLOOD GROUP DISTRIBUTION IN WALES IN
RELATION TO HUMAN SETTLEMENT) discovered
that the only other region of the world
which produced similar gene frequency
results to those of [Breatuinn] was North
Africa, particularly the so-called Hamatic
tribes, which, as we have seen, are the
accepted descendants of the ancient
Egyptians. Along the Atlantic seaboard the
only other correlation with [Pretan] was to
be found upon the peculiarly named `Island
of Ra', just off the North African coast."
(Henderson, Diar Daoin 10 Faoillteach 2008,
paragraph 2, Appendix Page 1 Where Did They
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
Death; Iobhair: Sacrifice and\or
Offering; -neach: person and\or
-neachd: family and\or tribe; 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)
