DePooperit Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Wid dat no be Gaels or da lik, raider as Celts? (da Lewismen) How aboot dem dat cem we da Ninian treasure, wid dae no be Celts? I dunna kaen if onybody kaens dui dey? Hit's laekly back ta yun aald question aboot whidder da Picts wis Celtic or no. I tink I mind readin somewye at some o da metalwark buiried in Shaetlan somewye - maybe at Jarlshof - wis Irish kind, bit dat micht a been a immigrant Irish metalwirker. BTW - Gaels is Celts, da sam wye at Spaniels is dugs! Dae'r twa different kinds o (livin) Celtic languages - Gaelic, Goidelic or 'Q' Celtic (Irish, Scottish Gaelic an Manx) an British, Brythonic or 'P' Celtic (Welsh, Cornish an Breton fae Brittany). Whin I say 'livin', Manx an Cornish actually deed oot, bit some fock is tryin ta kyucker dem up. I doot da onny Celtic wirds i da Shaetlan spaek is laekly ta be Gaelic enes come doon trowe da Scots, laek 'loch'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GypsyScy Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Also Njugle, as soon as I saw the Ninians display at the museum I reckoned it had to be Irish as the Tara Brooch is quite distinctive:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_Brooch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 So the relation to the indian "ganzie"? I realise the languages have common roots. But remember being taught it was another word brought back from colonial times. Ganzie being the name for a pullover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longdog Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 on the north yorkshire coast we have ganzies that fishermen wore. Each village had a different pattern so that if they were found washed up people knew where to take them. There's a ganzies festival in whitby. I've got one my wife knit me, but they're knit from a fine denim yarn, not wool and fade and wash like a nice pair of old jeans. May be ours has the same origins of name?
