I couldn’t find any words of Celtic origin in non-Celtic languages for this week’s Celtic Pathways podcast, so after 94 episodes, I’ve decided to take a break. I’ll be back with more Adventures in Etymology next week.
There are plenty of place names throughout Europe that have Celtic roots – see Celtic toponymy on Wikipedia. However, for the Celtic Pathways podcasts, I like to find words that have descendants in at least some of the modern Celtic languages, as well as words from the same Celtic roots in other languages. If I find any more like this, I will make more episodes of Celtic Pathways.
