[EN] Lexical parallels between Indo-Iranian and Italo-Celtic, first heralded by Vendryes, have recently mutiplied, particularly through studies by E. Campanile, and by the author. Here he endeavours to list some Gaulish -rīx compounds which have close Indian parallels : 1. Svarigillus, and Svarica correspond to Skr. sva-rāj-“ independant” ; – 2. Samorix = Ved. sam-rāj-“ supreme chief” ; – 3. Anderex, in Aquitania, = Ved. adhi-rāja “ emperor” ; – 4. Magiorix = Old Ind. māha-rājá-“ great king” ; – 5. Rerigonion, Ptol., a forteress of Novantae, presents (together with an intensive prefix (p) ro-> re-) the same suffix as Skr. rājanya-“ royal”.
