Gaesum-Soliferrum

[cagwinn]

As for the gaesum (gr. gaison), ancient sources considered the gaesum a Gaulish word, and it does not seem to have been used in Iberia as such word, in Celtiberian language, or even to describe the soliferreum.

Yes, gaesum is generally believed to have been borrowed from Gaulish *gaison, though there is a possibility that this Gaulish word might originally have been a loan from Germanic. We don't really have enough information on the Celtiberian language to be able to rule out the presence of a cognate in it.
