Re: [tied] Re: Celts/Gauls

The superficial similarity of Cimmerians and Cymry is
not to be taken as indicating a link.'Cymry/Kymry is a
medieval form. 'Cimmerians' is centuries and centuries
earlier. 'Cimbri' would not relate closely to the
reliably reconstructed form for Welsh Kymry -
*combrogi

They are believed to be unrelated forms.I thought that
Chris Gwynn put that myth to rest a long time ago on
this group.

I may be wrong but the experts do not equate Cimbri
wiht Cymru/Kymry.
