The Celtic tongues have lately received especial illustration from the researches of Mr. Garnett. Amongst others, the two following points are particularly investigated by him:-- 1. The affinities of the ancient language of Gaul. 2. The affinities of the Pictish language or dialect. § 62. _The ancient language of Gaul Cambrian._--The evidence in favour of the ancient language of Gaul being Cambrian rather than Gaelic, lies in the following facts:-- The old Gallic glosses are more Welsh than Gaelic. a. _Petorritum_ = _a four-wheeled carriage_, from the Welsh, _peder_ = _four_, and _rhod_ = _a wheel_. The Gaelic for _four_ is _ceathair_, and the Gaelic compound would have been different. b. _Pempedula_, the _cinque-foil_, from the Welsh _pump_ = _five_, and _dalen_ = _a leaf_. The Gaelic for _five_ is _cuig_, and the Gaelic compound would have been different. c. _Candetum_ = a measure of 100 feet, from the Welsh _cant_ = 100. The Gaelic for _a hundred_ is _cead_, and the Gaelic compound would have been different. d. _Epona_ = _the goddess of horses._ In the old Armorican the root _ep_ = _horse_. The Gaelic for a horse is _each_. e. The evidence from the names of geographical localities in Gaul, both ancient and modern, goes the same way: _Nantuates_, _Nantouin_, _Nanteuil_, are derived from the Welsh _nant_ = _a valley_, a word unknown in Gaelic. f. The evidence of certain French provincial words, which are Welsh and Armorican rather than Erse or Gaelic. § 63. _The Pictish most probably Cambrian._--The evidence in favour of the Pictish being Cambrian rather than Gaelic lies in the following facts: a. When St. Columbanus preached, whose mother-tongue was Irish Gaelic, he used an interpreter. This shows the _difference_ between the Pict and Gaelic. What follows shows the affinity between the Pict and Welsh.
