What is technically Gaulish[edit]
I would like to enter the following, but i don't know how broadly the term Gaulish reaches. Do town and welsh count, or should i put them aside under a separate by-heading? Or, this page could be named List of English words from Continental Celtic.
- town
- from Old English, from Proto-Germanic *tûnan, from Celtic *dūnom.
- welsh, welch
- from Old English Welisc "British, foreign", from Proto-Germanic *Walhiskaz, from a Celtic name witnessed in Latin as Volcae.
