Apparently some of these same lawless and predatory troglodytes were at one time dwelling in Wales, for a few miles further north of Aberystwith we find the place-name Goginan there applied to what is described as "a locality with extensive lead-mines". The Welsh for cave is _ogof_, or _gogof_, and in Cornish not only _gougou_, but also _ugo_, or _hugo_ meant the same: thus _og_ and _gog_ would seem to have been synonymous, a conclusion confirmed in many other directions, such as _goggle_ and _ogle_. In Hebrew, _og_ meant gigantic, mighty, or long-necked, which evidently is the same word as the British _uch_, German _hoch_, meaning _high_; whence, there is every probability that _Og_, or _Gog_, meant primarily _High-High_, or the _Most High_, and Magog, _Mother Most High_. Okehampton, on the river Okement in Devonshire, held, like Launceston, a giglet fair, whence it is probable that Kigbear, the curious name of a hamlet in Okehampton, took its title from the same _Kig_ as was responsible for _giglet_. There are numerous allusions in the classics to a Cyclopean rocking-stone known as the Gigonian Rock, but the site of this famous oracle is not known. Joshua refers to the coast of Og, King of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, and that this obnoxious ruler was a troglodyte is manifest from his subterranean capital at Edrei, which is in existence to this day, and will be described later. That at one time Og was a god of the ocean may be deduced from the Rabbinic tradition that he walked by the side of the ark during the flood, and the waters came up only to his knees. From the measurements of Og's famous bedstead it has been calculated that Og himself "was about _nine_ feet high".[201] In Hebrew _og_ is also understood to mean _he who goes in a circle_, which is suggestive of the Sun or Eye of Heaven. That the sun was the mighty, all-seeing _ogler_ or _goggler_ of the universe is a commonplace among the poets, whence Homer, alluding to the Artist of the World, observes: "His spy the Sun had told him all". To the jocund Sun, which on Easter Day in particular was supposed to dance, may be referred the joyful _gigues_, or _jigs_ of our ancestors. Gig also meant a boy's top, and to the same source may be assigned whirli_gig_. Shec is the Irish form of Jack, and _gigans_ or _gigantic_ are both radically Jack or Jock. In English, Jack means many things, from a big fresh-water fish to a jack pudding, and from Jack-in-Green to Jack-a-lanthorn: Skeat defines it, _inter alia_, as a saucy fellow, and in this sense it is the same as a young cock. Among the characteristics of Mercury--the Celtic Ogmius, or Hercules--were versatility, fascination, trickery, and cunning: sometimes he is described as "a mischievous young thief," whence, perhaps, the old word _cog_, which meant cheating, or trickery.
