Antonio - over all pretty good, but there are a number of
etymological errors (I don't have the time to go into them right
now). Have you consulted Xavier Delamarre's "Dictionnaire de la
langue gauloise"? If not, you really should purchase a copy - it is
one of the best sources for the study of Gallo-Brittonic onomastic
material, and reflects current scholorship on the subject. I never
atempt Gaulish etymologies without it now.
