MacNeill — Notes on Irish Ogham Inscriptmis. 359 



Consonant-stems. 



17. Consonant-stems form the genitive in -as, transitionally -a. In late 

 forms the ending disappears, leaving broad consonant final as in MS. Irish. 

 Late forms are thus liable to be confused with late o-stem s-enitives. See 

 Macalister i, 15 on Vuruddrann, etc. ; " regarded by Khys as due to foreign 

 influence (' Northern Picts,' pp. 307-318)." 



18. Examples in -as, -a, are numerous. Only identified names are here 

 cited. 



Compounds of -cunas, MS. con, nom. cu, may perhaps not always be 

 distinguished from names which in MSS. have the nom. ending -iuc, gen. -con, 

 e.g. Miliucc, gen. Milcon. Bruinniucc, gen. Bronncon. All such are here given 

 together. Glasiconas 16, 17 (i indicates *(x/fas.sMar), Voenacunas 21, Gamicunas 

 42 = Gaimchon, Assicona 203, Netacunas 206, Lobacona 240, Lobaccona 212. 



Of -rigas, earlier Celtic rlgos, nom. rlx, MS. rig (with broad g), nom. ri, 

 the only instances are -torigas 33, Votecorigas (with latinized equivalent 

 Votcporigis) in bilingual inscription of Llanfallteg, and Vecrec, Veqreq, 

 quoted below. 



Of -vicas, earlier Celtic . -vlcos, nom. -vlv, in Oi'dovices, Lemovix, some 

 instances show shortening and change of quality in the unaccented 

 vowel. Gravicas ? 8, Catuvviq . . . 36, Ercavicca 62, Luguvvecca 112, 

 Rittavvecas 69, Calunovica 214, Denaveca 220. 



The element which appears in the genitives Nemaiclon (Adamnan), 

 Luguaedon (Inchagoill stone), Lwjcdon, Lugadon, Cinadon AU, is exemplified 

 by Dovvaidonas 127, Bivaidona 126, Ercaidana 174, Lugaddon J, 1907, p. 62. 



Moinena 28 = Moinenn. 



Decedda 36, Ddecceda 51, Deceda 94, Decceddas 135 = Declict. 



velitas 70 = filed. 



Cattubuttas J, 1908, p. 203 = Cathhoth, L. Arm. 



Coillabotas 79 = Coelhoth. 



Cunanetas 225 = Gonnath, Gondnath, Gonnad in many pedigrees. The 

 nom. is given as Gonda (= *Gonne) BB 145/3^20. 



Segamonas 208, 225, 231 = Segamon. Only found in the composite name 

 Neta(s) Segamonas, ms. nom., JVia Segamon.^ Segomo, dat. Scgomoni, was the 

 name or byname of a Celtic god, equated by the Eomans with Mars (Holder, 

 s. V. Segomo). 



Lugudeecas 208, Lugudeca 186, 226 = Liigdecli, Lugdach, nom. Luguid. 



Instances of iieta(s) and niota(s), as uame-elements are separately 

 discussed. 



1 Note the vowel of the seoond syllable preserved, as in hrlthemon, etc.
