Prósper, Blanca María, “Celtic and non-Celtic divinities from ancient Hispania: power, daylight, fertility, water spirits and what they can tell us about Indo-European morphology”, Journal of Indo-European Studies 43:1–2 (2015): 1–56.
abstract:
This paper examines several hitherto neglected divinities attested in Latin votive inscriptions, mostly found in central Spain: Suttunius, Velonsa, Nevara, Duillae, Airo, but also in the western regions: Ulisus Tereun(icus), Lumbae, Poltucea, Uladus and Nituceus. An etymological note on Gaulish Sucellus is included. These divine names are interesting from the point of view of etymology but also pose some questions about Indo-European and Celtic verb and noun inflection.

Lajoye, Patrice, and Guillaume Oudaer, “*Percos/*Ercos: an unknown Celtic theonym”, Journal of Indo-European Studies 42:1–2 (2014): 40–100.
abstract:
Erc is the name of several Irish and Scottish figures belonging to mythology, hagiography and the annals. This anthroponym does not seem to be widespread and is of uncertain significance. However, it appears to be the origin of several place-names both in Ireland and also in other Celtic lands. Given the different usage of the root erc-, if we want to try to understand the cultural concept it covers, we must study it literarily – through an examination ofcharacters with this name or surname.

Pronk, Tijmen, “Several Indo-European words for ‘dense’ and their etymologies”, Journal of Indo-European Studies 41:1–2 (Spring/Summer, 2013): 1–19.
abstract:
The article offers an etymological analysis of some of the Indo-European nominal formations with a meaning ‘dense’ and similar or derived meanings such as ‘thick’, ‘tight’ or ‘frequent’. The Proto-Indo-European roots that are discussed include *temk- ‘to join, coagulate, solidify’, *tum- ‘to swell, become thick’, *(s)tegw- ‘firm, impenetrable’ and the compound *dbh-(h2)mǵh- ‘dense, frequent’. The majority of words discussed are Baltic, Slavic and Germanic, but the discussion necessarily involves the etymologies of words in the other branches of Indo-European as well.
Eska, Charlene M., “Celtic and Germanic light on Hittite divorce law”, Journal of Indo-European Studies 40:3–4 (Fall/Winter, 2012): 300–314.
abstract:
Section 26 of the Hittite Laws has long posed a crux to editors, mainly due to the fragmentary nature of the surviving material. This paper reexamines previous interpretations of 26 and challenges the notion, which originated in Friedrich's edition of the laws, that a man may sell his wife as part of the divorce proceedings. By interpreting this section within the framework of marriage laws as found in other branches of the Indo-European family, the conclusion is reached that any selling of the wife is illusory and that what is found instead is a systematic arrangement of various types of recognized marriages with their respective provisions for divorce.
