A Restoration of the Ancient Modes of Bestowing Names on the Rivers, Hills,
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges our understanding of the origins of the names of rivers, mountains, towns, and other geographical place names within the UK, particularly in Cornwall and Devon, most of which are believed to be derived from ancient Celtic or Latin prefixes. The author argues that many of these names were actually derived from a lost pre-Celtic language, and uses Gaelic as a guide for translating these original names. The author traces the significance of the prefixes back to their likely meanings, and proposes a vocabulary of these early words to understand the grammar, construction, and rules that governed this language. This book will appeal to historians, linguists, and anyone with an interest in the history of the British Isles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282033958_0
