1. It's archeologically proven that Scythian influence
extended up to today's Berlin, and maybe even further to the west.
2. I don't see any reason to adscribe Ireland's and Pontic hydronymy to the same ethnolinguistic group (whatever it could be).
3. And even in that case there should exist an answer to this question: what group gave the names to Pontic rivers?
