Reconstruction notes

  • Aaron Griffith disputes the traditional identity of Old Irish muirgobuil in his Milan glosses database; he thinks that instead of its second member being gabul, it is gobél (inlet).
  • The reconstruction of the masculine gender hinges entirely on whether the Goidelic masculine words belong here; if they do not, it is possible to instead reconstruct this as a feminine word.
