abstract:

Celts, Gaels, and Britons offers a miscellany of essays exploring three closely connected areas within the fields of Celtic Studies in order to shed new light on the ancient and medieval Celtic languages and their literatures. Taking as its inspiration the scholarship of Professor Patrick Sims-Williams, to whom this volume is dedicated, the papers gathered together here explore the Continental Celtic languages, texts from the Irish Sea world, and the literature and linguistics of the British languages, among them Welsh and Cornish. With essays from eighteen leading scholars in the field, this in-depth volume serves not only as a monument to the rich and varied career of Sims-Williams, but also offers a wealth of commentary and information to present significant primary research and reconsiderations of existing scholarship.

abstract:

This paper undertakes a comprehensive survey of the syntax of absolute forms of verbs in the corpus of early Welsh poetry known as hengerdd. Comparisons are made with the syntax of absolute forms in Old Irish, in Old Welsh and Old Breton, in Middle Welsh court poetry of the twelfth century onwards, and with those found in Middle Welsh prose texts.

Rodway, Simon, “The ogham inscriptions of Scotland and Brittonic Pictish”, Journal of Celtic Linguistics 21 (2020): 173–234.  
abstract:
In this paper, I examine the evidence brought forward by Katherine Forsyth in support of the hypothesis that the 'Pictish' ogham inscriptions of Scotland are linguistically Celtic. Having examined the five most promising inscriptions minutely, I conclude that they are in fact not Celtic, and that 'Celtic-looking' sequences in them are due to coincidence. Thus, the language of this corpus of inscriptions remains unknown.

abstract:
This article looks at the implications of the fact that English translations and adaptations of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi are often presented as 'Celtic mythology' rather than as 'Welsh literature'. It looks at some of the connotations of 'Celtic' in the Anglophone world, comparing externally constructed images of Native Americans. Finally it turns to the question of whether or not echoes of pre-Christian Celtic mythology can be discerned in the Four Branches, concluding that while this is not to be ruled out, it is essentially unprovable due to lack of early evidence for Celtic myths.

abstract:
I tentatively propose a new Gaelic interpretation of an ogham inscription on a spindle-whorl from Buckquoy in Orkney. In this interpretation, the spindle-whorl would be a gift from a man to a female spinster.
