McCone reconstructs *waNālā or *weNālā as preforms for the Insular Celtic words, and *(w) aiNala for Pre-Basque (McCone 2005, 408-9).¹ This suggestion looks very attractive and suggestive and, if correct, would shed rare light on prehistoric linguistic relationships in Western Europe.

These commentaries suggest (a) that a crólige báis was merely an injury that put the victim in danger of death, and (b) that the payment in Bretha Crólige §2 substituted only for the provision of sick-maintenance.

It considers the site where Adomnán and his companions made their landfall on the Northumbrian coast, Trácht Romra, and its identification as the Solway Firth. The paper argues that there is not a solid enough basis to support this identification. It suggests that the author of Betha Adamnáin chose to locate the Northumbrian episode at Trácht Romra not for reasons of geographical accuracy, but as a subtle allusion to biblical events, intended to highlight a comparison between the Northumbrian episode and the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and to cast Adomnán in Mosaic guise.","PeriodicalId":38655,"journal":{"name":"Eriu","volume":"62 1","pages":"101 - 111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3318/ERIU.2012.62.101","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69515738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
