the Accitani tribe of Lusitania/Iberia worshipped a god known
as "Mars Neton" who was described as being "adorned with rays". This
god is believed to be the same deity who is documented as "Neitin"
in an inscription at Binefar.

Re-examining this now that I'm back on the net; I have a few quick
questions.
Sadly I do not speak German and we all know how poor I am in the
field of IE linguistics so.....
could someone please translate/clarify what is meant by:
"*nei-to- in cymr. nwyd `Leidenschaft', hispan. Kriegsgott Ne:to:"
??????
