* Atrebates = to segmente to Ad-Treb-Ates = Sedantary

Ad- = Very/Much (Intensive prefix)

Treb(a)- = Dwelling/Village

-Ate = Prefix = Those

* Uiro-mandui = The horse-man but may be (with symbolic theme) the "centaur"?

Uiro- = Man

Mandu(s) = Pony

In general, cities are named after the tribe : genitive (+ urbs)

so the modern city of Reims must be from a tribe's name

Do you happen to know their etymologies? I thought the river names
were Old European?
