Umm, Joseph - I don't need an explanation of P-Celtic and Q-Celtic -
I have already told you that I have been studying Celtic linguistics
since 1985, so I am fully aware of the differences between the two
groups and how to identify them.

What I do need an explanation of (along with the other points that I
have made in previous posts which you have so far not addressed) is
how you can possibly claim that Galatian and Lepontic were Q-Celtic
and what evidence you have that Gaulish was Q-Celtic in the 6th-4th
centuries BC (I suppose you can explain away -p-'s in the Gaulish
onomastics of that period). On top of that, I am still awaiting the
citation for *Combrogi in Gaulish/Belgic.


BTW - why is your name pronounced "kwarrie"? What happened to the
first -r-? Isn't Crary just an Anglicized form of Mac Ruidhri anyway?
