Proto-Brythonic

Etymology

From an earlier *Dub(no)nantī, a compound equivalent to *duβn ("deep") +‎ *nant ("valley"). The i-affection may originate from a plural or genitive case ending.

Although sometimes held to be directly from Proto-Celtic *Dubnonī (whence Latin Dumnōniī),[1] this cannot fully explain the final *-t.

Proper noun

*Düβnėnt

  1. Devon, the main territory of the historic Dumnonian kingdom and a later county of England.
