Do you know the personal leader name "Catamantaloedis"
Leader from Sequani tribe from Celtic
I would like to know exactly what his name means :
CATA-MANTALO-EDIS
Cata = Deterioration of Catu = Battle or Canto- = 100
Old Breton Cat. Welsh Cad/Cadeu and Cadaw (Army). Manx Cah (Military
action). Scot and Old Irish Cath. Middle Irish Cuad.
Cf Cata-manus = Good in battle (Gaulish Personal name)
Mantalo- = Road
Breton Mont (To go). Grec Mâtéô (To tread). Lituanien Minti (To
tread)
CF Mantro- : Breton Mantra (To crush). Welsh Mathru (To tread)
Edis = Feet
Cf Galatian word "Ades" = Feet
1 = The man who traveling 100 (cata<canto) roads (mantalo) by foot
(edis)
2 = The man walking (edis) in war roads (cata-mantalo) / or /Forcing
one's way in battle
Other ?
Is tha any connexion between welsh "Cydfantawl" =
Equilibrium/Balance
(< Catamantalo ?)
More : Old Breton "Montol" + Old Welsh "Menntaul" < Welsh "Mantol"
From Mantalo- = Scales
So Catamantalo-edis = The man who keeps one's balance with his
foots ?
