I apprehend that in the opinion of Celtic scholars of the present day the Ancient British deity Cocidis is not considered to have any connection with the river Coquet. P. 91. It seems probable that the word _asp_ in river-names is formed by metathesis from the word _aps_, p. 27, form 5. P. 97. The GRYFFE and the GIRVAN may perhaps be better derived from the Gael. _grib_, swift. P. 132. To the root _pad_ or _pand_, to spread, may probably be placed-- _England._ The PANT. Essex. P. 135. From the root _tan_, may be derived the DNIESTER, (=Danaster), from _ster_, river. Or it might be from the root _dan_, as in Danube, p. 116. P. 136. The Dan. _tang_, sea-weed, does not seem to be connected with any word signifying water: it represents the Old Norse _tag_, twig. P. 145. To the root _vind_, white, clear, place-- _England._ The WENTE. Yorkshire. P. 149. To the Sansc. _taras_, Welsh _têr_, pure, clear, place-- _Thrace._ TEARUS ant. INDEX.
