Although there was indeed a name such as veneti before the breton
migration in Brittany, I thinnk it will be evident to anybody that the
modern breton word Gwened (ar Bro Gwened, the county of Vannes, that
sits in the very place where Caesar says the veneti were), is related
to welsh Gwynedd. So what relation is there between Gwened and Veneti
(it is also obvious that there is one) ? Is there a brythonic (celtic
?) etymology for Gwynedd / Gwened ?
