538 Rev. Mr Wituiams on one Source of the 
Tre-bula, Suffenas in the Sabini; 
Tre-ventum, before mentioned. 
To these may be added, 
Tar-visum in Venetia, now Tre-viso ; 
' Ter-geste in Venetia, now Trieste ; 
Ter-ioli in Rheetia, now the Tyrol. 
This induction might have been increased, by examining the 
names in which the following words are component parts :— 
Man, a place ; 
Ban, a hill ; 
Gwy, water ; 
Glan, the brink, or side of a river, lake, &c. ; 
Bre, or Bryn, or Bren, a bre’, or brow of a hill, and others. 
But sufficient, I suppose, has been adduced to shew that the Cum- 
rian language is the only key to a right understanding of local 
names in Italy, and to induce the learned reader to allow, that 
the same tongue which entered so deeply into the composition 
of the names of places, rivers, and mountains, might also have 
left strong proofs of its existence in the more artificial language 
which sprung up when the civilization of Magna Grecia and 
Etruria sunk before the energy and hardihood of the mountain 
tribes; and the victors of Septimontium, as they advanced in power 
and a knowledge of the arts and sciences, had to extend their 
vernacular vocabulary. 
But before I enter upon an examination of this proof, it will 
be right to declare, that the Gael as well as the Cumro can claim 
in common some of the words which have been placed before 
the reader, and more to which his claim appears exclusive. 
But this, if granted, does not affect the value of the principle. Let 
the Gael and the Cumro decide on their respective rights. It is 
something gained to have expelled the encroaching Teutons. The 
i Este is a common root in the names of places. See At-Este, Praen-Este, 
Greek, ac.
