Llanes, a place on the coast of Asturia. (The aspirated _Ll_ of the Spaniards is very like the Welsh _Ll_, and is most probably a relic of Celtic pronunciation.) Lancia (Ciudad Rodrigo,) Lancia (Guarda.) Lan-dubr-is. “The Shore or Margin of the Sea or Water,” or a spot inclosed by the Sea.(69) An Island, in Latin Maps, on the coast of Portugal. “The Lan-des,” The well-known arid sandy deserts forming the South-eastern coast of France. Medio-lan-um.(70) Medd, the middle, (_Celtic_,) and Lan. Towns thus designated seem to have been situated either at the Curve or Winding of a stream, or inclosed between two streams. I may instance—in Cisalpine. Gaul. Medio-lan-um, Milan. Mediolanum (_Santones_), on the Loire. (_Eburovices Aulerci_), Evreux, Normandy. (_Bituriges Cubi_), inclosed between two winding streams, which are the sources of the Loire. Bi-tur-iges is from a synonyme, Bi, two, and Dour, Water. Dôl, “A wind, a bow, a turn, a meander, a dale or mead, through which a river runs,” (_Welsh_,)(71) as in Dol-Vorwyn and Dol-Vorgan, Montgomeryshire, North Wales; “Dôle,” the ancient capital of Franche Compté. (Compare the situation.) Lut-ecia,(72) Paris, seems clearly to have derived its name from its situation among marshes. “Située dans une isle de la Seine environnée de marais profonds, difficiles à traverser, qui communiquent à ce fleuve.” (Bullet, from Strabo.) Llath-ach, “Mud, Dirt,” (Irish,) Llaith, Moist, (_Welsh._) ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Lug-dunum or Lau-dunum.(73) “Laon,” built on the Summit of a Rock divided into two branches. Lug, from Llech, a Stone. Clog, a detached rock, (_Welsh._) Liag, a great Stone. Leagan Kloiche, a Rock, (_Irish._) In the following instances the identity of the Gaulish and other Celtic names with the Welsh is remarkably clear, and will be vividly felt by persons vernacularly familiar with the Welsh language, and the most common local names in Wales. The “Bretons,” Ar-mor-ici. Ar, “On,” Mor, “the Sea.” The people of a Hilly Region in the South-east of France, Ar-e-com-ici. Coum, “a Hollow Circular Valley, or Depression,” (_Welsh._) This word is the source of the numerous names of places in England ending in Combe. The Oriental origin of the word is clearly traceable. After describing the great Table-land of Central Asia as extending over the whole of Persia, Ritter adds: “Towards ‘Koom,’ (in Persia,) we find the greatest depression, in the Table-land; here the surface sinks to 2046 feet!”(74) There are also the “Com-oni,” above Toulon, and Com-us, “Como,” to which the word is peculiarly appropriate. (Bullet.) The People of Auvergne. Ar-vern-i, “On the Hills.” Veryn or Beryn is a Hill in Welsh. Thus “Cevn y Beryn,” is the name of a Hill in Montgomeryshire. By Plutarch the Ar-vern-i are called Ar-ben-i. “This is a very interesting addition to our information. ‘Veryn’ and ‘Ben’ are both synonymes extant in Welsh for ‘a Hill.’ ”
