Re: Res: [tied] Portuguese queirós x haithjo heath

Obviously, I'm guessing but if the names are from NW
Iberia and if they maintained an IE *k-, I'd look at
Celtic or Lusitanian.
BTW I've seen confusing data regarding Galicia,
Asturias and N Portugal as to whether the pre-Roman
population was Celtic or Lusitanian.
Do they really know or have I been looking at outdated
material?
