The Celticness of briogais
[edit]According to this article as of 06/30/08,
Celtic would regularly have *b.r.g instead, as in Scottish Gaelic briogais. The word is well-attested in the Germanic languages (see breeches).
However, according to Alexander MacBain, the word briogais came to Gaelic from English, from either breeks or breeches. Furthermore, an original Celtic /g/ would tend to become <gh> or be dropped in Gaelic (except as a first letter), and /k/ sometimes became /g/. Examples (Labarion / Gaelic):
- agedâ / aghaidh
- agron / àr
- carrecis / carraig
