Given that the Polish pattern of penult stress developed about the fifteenth century, it's one of the most remarkably late dates for Celtic presence in Poland.

Well, if no one has a better answer, I propose that Czech and Hungarian had a Germanic subtrate ("Markomannian"?). And Polish, with penultimate stress (and Moravian?) would therefore have a Celtic substrate. (No, resistance is futile! ;-) )
