Tomostpeoplewhosenotionsofrace relationshipshavebeenderivedfrom olderviewpoints,thismayseema veryheterogenouscollectionofpeople withoutcloserelationship.There havebeen,however,somesuggestions ofaffinitiesbetweenthesepeoples,that werediscussedlongago.Anyonewho willturntoCanonTaylor'seruditevolumeon"WordsandPlaces"(Everyman'sLibrary)willfindthattheir place-nameshadbroughtsomeofthese scatteredpeopletogetherinaveryinterestingway.ThelearnedCanonof Yorkpointedoutthatthesyllablegal whichoccursinmanyregionalnames probablysignifiesthattherewassomethingincommonamongallthesepeople.Celtis,ofcourse,hesays,only theGreekformofGaelorGallus.G andwareofteninterchangeable.The FrenchcallthePrinceofWales,le princedeGalles.CornwallinEngland usedtobeCornwales.Calaisusedto bewritteneitherGaleysorWaleysindifferently.Caledoniamaywellhave beenGaledonia.Gaul,Galway,Donnegal,GallowayandArgyleareall stronglyGaelicdistricts.Goelloisone ofthemostCelticportionsofBrittany.
