[Loch-soilleir] RE: Loch-solleir Q and A

Thu Apr 1 21:00:48 PST 2004

And, by the way - Welsh Gaelic is from the P-Gaelic family, and different from Irish & Scottish Gaelic.  (K-Gaelic?)  It could be coincidentally the same in both Welsh & Irish, but  I would be surprised.  They are very different.
Loch Soilleir seems to be non-Welsh.  
There go our favorite myths.  But I couldn't sleep until I researched the answer to make my internal Mom happy.
Sigh...and a good night to all.
