I understand the root *(s)neudH- "cloud", cf. Latin
nu:bes (>nubine> Portuguese nuvem)...
Is there some trait in Nuada that make him a
"Cloud-Maker"?
I've ever seen Nuada as linked to OE Saexneat, OHG
Saxnot < *Sahsa-nautaz.

My apologies if this is a bit of a dead horse...
I know there are theories linking Nuada to the PIE
root *neud- "to
grasp for something / to acquire"
And Dumezil has attempted to link Nuada to the root
*nedh-, "to bind"
(Mitra-Varuna pg 99)
But I have repeatedly seen the name expressed as
meaning "Cloud Maker";
can anyone explain the etymology of this specific
term??
Sincerely,
Aydan
