Gwal, " a cultivated country. The Cymry appropriated this 

 name to regions that were cultivated, and had a fixed residency, 

 opposed to the wilds, or unsettled residences." 



Gwely, " a bed or couch, also a family or tribe, a family dis- 

 trict." 



Gwent, " a fair or open region, a champaign. It is a name 

 now confined to nearly all Monmouthshire, but which anciently 

 comprehended parts of the counties of Gloucester aud Hereford, 

 being the district of which Caer-went, or the ' Venta Silurum' 

 was the capital." 



Gwern, " a swamp, a bog, a meadow, also alder trees." He 

 might have added that it was a generic name for trees, e. g. 

 Gwernen, a mast of a tree.

First, Under Ca or Cae, we find, among others, the follow- 

 ing :— 



Ca-latia campana. 

 Ca-latia samnis. 

 Ca-letra, in Etruria. 

 2 Ca-Mars or Clusium, in Etruria.

1 A comparison of these two names with Col-Latium, Pa-Latium, &c. will shew 

 that Ca is a separable prefix. Compare also the rare coin, published by Sestini, 

 and bearing the inscription PALACI VM, ascribed to the Sabine Palantium, from 

 which, according to Varro (Ling. Lat. IV.) the Palatine hill derived its name. 



2 For the same reason compare Mars Martis, the God, and the river Marta in 

 Etruria ; also Ma-mertium.
