The writer owes much to Professor Gray, both in training and personal interest. Thanks are due also to Prof. Vernam Hull of New York University, who read the manuscript and offered many suggestions.

²¹ The form lokan occurs in the inscription of Todi, but this is in an alphabet which has no separate characters for b, d, g.

²³ Suggestion of Professor Gray, who says that Gaul. mālo- might be explained as from *ṃ_elo-, This ṃ_e (also ṃ_o, _eṃ, _oṃ) represents what used to be considered ṃ̄.

²⁴ o u̯ seems to have become in Gaulish au; whether in every position or not is not clear. IE *lo u̯- gives Gaul. lautro ‘balneo’, Ir. loathar, lóthor ‘trough’, Lat. lavō, etc.
