Celtic *gal(i)a: also means 'power' (hence the ethonyms Galli and
Galatae), related to the verb *gal-ne- 'be able'; cf. Welsh gallu
'power; be able'. It's one of those several interesting lexical
isoglosses that link Celtic with Balto-Slavic. They seem to be early
loans (from Celtic into Baltic and Slavic rather than the other way round).
       Hello,

   Word GALAITIS in Lithuanian language means SON OF GALAS.

   According to my knowledge there isn't Slavic word GALIA. Or I'm not wright?

   What word CELT means? In Lithuanian language word KELTAS means FERRY, RAFT.

   Regards, Egijus
