http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/ For Conlangs inspired by Celtic Langs Mon, 08 Nov 2010 01:43:19 GMT Padraic Brown http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2052 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2052 ... Sorry, sent that a wee bit quick. Also meant to add: I did find a reference to a goddess (or something, the website kind of crashed weirdly) called Orcia Mon, 08 Nov 2010 01:41:14 GMT Padraic Brown http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2051 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2051 ... Perhaps Latin orca = fish (Valpy's Etymological Dictionary of the Latin Language, 1828).

Do you know any Celtic roots or Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:00:10 GMT A. da Mek http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2049 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2049 In my conworld, the northern part of Bothflanks was once inhabited by ogres, so this land was called Ogria, and after it was named also the river which flows Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:21:40 GMT Padraic Brown http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2048 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2048 ... Never heard of it before, but had a look at the title page (the only one accessible to nonmembers).

I still find a relatively healthy list easier to deal with than a forum (as I Tue, 16 Mar 2010 08:50:37 GMT A. da Mek http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2046 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2046 ... I've wondered about it as well. Do not forget that there is also the Celticaconlang alive, with 8 messages within last 7 days and between 13 to 79 messages Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:25:48 GMT Ph.D. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2045 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2045 I think I'm still subscribed to Aboriconlang as well, but I haven't heard anything on that list in ages.

They are, but many are set to "nomail". ... Note that thìs list is actually the second Celticonlang list. There is another, and I think it's still alive Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:16:10 GMT Jan van Steenbergen http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2043 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2043 ... Excellent! It would perhaps be good to know that the members, even if they are not writing anything, are still there. And agreed, it would be a shame to Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:58:12 GMT Padraic Brown http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2042 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2042 ... Well, ownership has changed, and I now appear to be the owner of one slightly inhabited Yahoo group. I think these sorts of endeavours are cyclical -- Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:36:52 GMT Carl Edlund Anderson http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2041 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang/message/2041 Yes, it would be a shame to lose the group mail archives (which Yahoo will happily keep forever, in theory, I believe) in any case!

Understandable; but if it's all the same to you, would you mind transfering ownership of the group to me (elemtilas)?

I'll be deleting the group next week.
