[Northkeep] [NR] solutions to North Ansteorra problems

[Jerry Herring]

Understanding that each of those Celtic tribes were all speaking different 
languages but still variants of Gaelic and knowing that modern Irish, Welsh, and 
Scots Gaelic are in part derived from those older styles of the language means 
just as much as understanding that modern Icelandic, Danish, and Swedish are all 
derived from variants of  old Norse... But this being the Society for Creative 
Anachronisms we could just lump the Celts all into one bunch if we want and make 
a phrase we like and want to use as a rallying call. Phrases like Alba an Aigh 
which is Scots gaelic for Scotland the brave or Éirinn go Brách  which is Irish 
Gaelic for something like Ireland forever to this day make nationals from those 
countries and their descendants spread around the world fell a kinship. Coming 
up with a pretty cool rallying cry for our region if that is a direction folks 
want to go sounds like a good idea to me, but first we need a good name to have 
in that rallying cry because "Eirinn go Brae"  would just not be quite so cool 
with out the Eirinn part.

Kindly
Ian

Just to follow through,, *my* mundane "Celtic" ancestors were of the Icenii, 
Brigantii, Dubunni, Damnonii and Robogdii tribes, and did *not*  speak the same 
languages (Diarmaid's were pretty much the Blanii).  Herself's were the Belgae 
and Treveri, plus heaven knows what west Irish tribe (probably the Auteni or the 
Uterni, who were probably once the same tribe).
