A synchronic and diachronic reappraisal of Indo-European **dʱug̑ʱh₂ter*-‘daughter’ and **suh_xnú-* ‘son’ in Celtic dialects, Insular and Continental

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper has two chief goals: (i) to collate the disparate synchronic evidence for the distribution of ‘daughter’ and ‘son’ from the dialect maps available for the modern Celtic languages, namely: the Gaelic languages (Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx) and Brittonic (Welsh, Cornish and Breton), (ii) to revisit and analyse the distribution of the terms ‘son’ and ‘daughter’ at an early stage of Continental Celtic from two millennia ago in Gaulish and Celt-Iberian with particular reference to the Indo-European lexemes *dʱug̑ʱh2ter ‘daughter’ and *suhxnú- ‘son’.
