This article looks briefly at the significance of the triskele and swastika as sun-symbols in general and their long association with Insular Celtic traditions, and with the Isle of Man in particular, as well as the association of the triskele and other traditions with Manannán mac Lir (Manannan Beg mac y Leirr in Man) and with Tynwald, the Manx parliament, in Manx tradition over time.

In the course of taking down/sound-recording material from the last native Manx speakers between 1883 and 1972 a number of lyrical texts formed part of some of the collections. A number of such texts have already appeared in print, others appear here for the first time. This article seeks to bring all such known texts together under one roof in order to serve the interests of various fields of study concerned with traditional lyric-text material.

In his Sir John Rhŷs Memorial Lecture of 1969 Robert L. Thomson provided a detailed analysis of initial consonant replacement in the Classical Manx of the eighteenth century, in which he was able to set out the use or non-use of such replacement by various authors of that century. However, Thomson's presentation of the material is not easy to digest today, and in order to facilitate an easier understanding of the importance of these developments, the material has here been repackaged and presented anew.

Dieser Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit dem Weiterleben und dem Ausklang des Gallischen als Alltagssprache in Gallien bzw. des Galatischen in Kleinasien im Römischen Reich anhand von einschlägigen lateinischen bzw. griechischen Texten von ca. 50 bis 1200 n. Chr. und verwendet dabei ein modernes Sprachmodell des Sprachtodes als Maßstab, welches uns vielleicht ermöglicht, einen terminus post quem zum Ausklang des Gallischen bzw. des Galatischen zu finden.
This article seeks to assess the continuation, survival and obsolescence of Gaulish as a community language in Gaul (and Galatian in Asia Minor) during the period of the Roman Empire, looking at the evidence of relevant Latin and Greek texts dating from ca. 50–1200 CE, as well as making use of a present-day model of language death as a guide, in order that we may arrive at a likely time-span as to when Gaulish (and Galatian) became obsolescent.
