My thanks for the input so far.
What I am truly looking for is any assistance that could offer
potential etymologic links between Nuada/Nodens and Neto, Neitin, etc!
Is there any way that ALL of the names could be derived from the same
root ---- rather than *(s)neudH-/*nedh-/*neud- on one hand and *nei- on
the other?

Is there any way Nodonti, Nodenti, Nudente, Nodentis, Nodens, Nuadat,
or Nuada could possibly stem from *nei-???

Is there any way Neitin, Netus, Netoni, and Neto could possibly stem
from *(s)neudH-, *nedh-, or *neud-???



Sincerely,
Aydan
