"Celt" Conjecture
#45
Quote:Celtillus is certainly a Gaulish name - the -us is simply a Latin substitution for the Gaulish -os (it was common practice for Latin authors to Latinize the endings of foreign names). There are numerous attested examples of the native Celtic suffix -il(l)-, so there is no need to suggest that we have some sort of Latin name here. That a *kelt- root existed in both the Gaulish and Celtiberian languages is beyond doubt - the root is amply attested in both.
"Certainly" requires arguments, but I see only claims. Which are those numerous examples?

Quote:Celtilus is simply a Latinization of Celtilos, which is a lot like Celtic unless you have just arrived on Wilson and Blackett's space ship.
Except for modern languages like Spanish having this name as Celtilo (because they pronounce -ll- differently), where is this Celtilos attested?

Quote:The Celts never existed in reality, only in the minds in people who lived south and west of the Germans. According to revisionist historians, we need to scrap a lot of our RAT threads-- like "Show Your Celtic Impression."
As pointed out, this "revisionism" goes back to Weber, a century ago. Some scholars read sociology and anthropology, some scholars don't. And I believe in some cases the ignorance is intentional because some people simply don't have the heart to throw away what they believed in for a long time.
Drago?
