[Regia-NA] Re: Celt was Fashions

[J K Siddorn]

Erm - Celt devolves from the Greek "Keltoi", meaning "trouser wearer", a
term of slighting contempt for the barbarians that lived to the north.

The term is a modern patois for an broad group of cultures spanning both
thousands of years and thousands of miles and was certainly never used by
any of them to describe themselves. To do so makes as much sense as a Welsh
(derived from the Englisc word for "Foreigner") person referring to
themselves in that way in a historical context . Cymru - meaning "the folk"
is, I believe, far more accurate.

That should do it ..................
