Menhir?


Part of my approach is to look for mirrors.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menhir


Men...Hir Stone + Hir

Hoar Stone Hoare + stone

Is it a mirror?

Maybe...I think its worth consideration......

Following the earlier thinking.

IF

Anglesey=Angler Sea

Wales=Wools

I tried this on a welsh friend who hated it.

So that was a good start......

To placate the new demand for evidence based approaches on AE.

There are a lot of sheep in Wales.....(ha)

Drovers brought the sheep to England.

Some folks feel that this explain the prevalence of Little London names that interests Frank so much.

The etymology is from Vlach type words, it is derogatory term for sheep herder.

The best lamb in Wales comes from Worm's Head so the locals say anyway.

The island is cut off by the sea twice a day and the reason the meat is so tasty is due to the saltiness of the grass which has more than an echo of Loopy's musings.

Just read through the whole 13 pages of this section. I have come to the conclusion that the Angles are the original English speakers of this Isle of ours.

At some time in the past raids and migrations of Angles/English have moved onto the continent of Europe. The Angles around Denmark and Northern Germany/ Northern Holland ( Frisia ) as just living communities from Britain ( the Ancient Britons/ English).

Why is it always the case that everything on the continent moved into Britain and never the reverse? We after all have conquered and settled in faraway places all over the world for many centuries in recorded history.

By the way there are many Islands on the West Coast like Mona that end in a - the famous Iona, Longa, Rona, Canna, Eilean Shona, Carna, Staffa, Fladda, Lunga, Ulva, Gometra, Kerrera, Eorsa, Bernera, Shuna, Gunna, Shuna, Jura, Scarba, Gigha, Cara, Texa, Danna, Pladda, Sanda, Roa, Soa, Stroma, Hunda, Flotta, Fara, Swona, Hoxa, Cava, Handa, Foula, Vaila, Oxna, South Havra, West Burra, Muckle Flugga, Barra

Dear Hatty,

One of your very first posts hit the nail on the head.

Maybe the attacks on the Romans were from East and West on a planned basis by the combined Welsh/Irish Druid army and the Iceni, east, southern and midland Britain's armed uprising, and not counting the southwest uprising that bogged down a whole legion locally.

Just been looking at a OS "Ancient Britain" map showing the Deceangli inhabiting the area of North Wales next door to Anglesey. They must have lived in Mona too, and renamed it at a later date after themselves.

Certainly not armed auxiliaries of the Romans either, are the Angles.

Britanicus.
