mythicalireland, you may wish to interview Celtic Source who is a Youtuber with a Ph.D. in Medieval Welsh history, if my memory serves me correctly. A great interview could be on the topic of Imbas or Finn- Welsh Gywnn, Nudd, and Gaulish Nodens. Best wishes from Toronto.

Perhaps there's an interesting connection between the latinized names of Cesair, Cesar, Caesar, and Kaiser. "Cesar"refers to someone cut from the womb. "Caesar" means long haired or fair haired. "Kaiser/Caesar" a leader. These historical accounts were almost always written by Catholic monks in Latin.

Thank you for doing this! I just started writing a sci-fi script based on this myth and this was very helpful. Thanks again!

mythicalireland, I forgot to thank you for your suggestions of early Irish dictionaries. They are online and, at this point I'm working on translations using a Medieval Irish dictionary. Do you have any suggestions on early dictionaries with English translations? Take care.
