[EN] The author identifies a Gaulish and Continental Celtic prefix ēri-parallel to the Irish preposition (/ prefix/ preverb) íar-“ behind, after” and (in local adverbs) “ west, western”. This may clarify the etymology of some Proper Names : ! Hridanov", a stream mentioned by ancient writers, would then be a “ western stream” (dāno-“ stream”, as in Rodanos et Danuvius) ; Eregina, and Aerius would be formed on the same preposition, with the semantism of Welsh wyr “ grand son”. The theonym Hēricura would have been the “ west wind”.
