Abstract

Looking at the distribution of Indo-European *wlkos 'wolf' in Continental Celtic and in Goedelic, clearing up the matter that 'olc' in Old Irish means 'wolf', and suggesting that taboo may have been an element of replacement, although the word 'mac tire' (lit. 'son of land') may, in actual fact, be a borrowing into Irish from an older pre-Indo-European language,
