Talk:Aber and Inver (placename elements)

Spanish

I have moved this paragraph here from the article.

Abra is Spanish for a not wide bay, but the Dictionary of Royal Spanish Academy derives it from French havre, a cognate for "haven". It names the Abra bay on the Bilbao Estuary.

The fact that Abra looks vaguely like Aber is no reason for inclusion here. Do you have a reference to a scholar who disagrees with the Spanish Academy and sees them as connected? Despite the fact that there was once such a thing as Celtiberian, I would be very surprised to find Celtic forms in Spanish. --Doric Loon 12:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Who wrote this, gaelic in ireland is at least a thousand years older than gaelic in scotland, even sticking to the origin myth of gaelic travelling from ireland to scotland this would still only count in the hundreds and at that only a few, gaelic is attested to in scotland from at least the 4th century and in ireland not much further back than the turn of the millenium. More likely argyll and ireland were originally gaelic speaking at roughly the same time, with the more mountainous terrain of scotland forming a natural linguistic barrier between p and q celtic languages east and west. Some archaelogical evidence to back up spurious statistics would be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.156.171 (talk) 02:00, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

'Aber-' in England (?)

- it would be interesting to have precise examples to back up the claim of instances of 'aber' in 'parts of England' (outside Cornwall). One or two in Devon, perhaps? Where else? Ceartas 18:53, 29

devon held on to its british language longer than the counties to the east of it, but obviously not as long as Cornwall. i notice that two of the listed Welsh uses of Aber as a prefix are tagged 'disambiguation required'. why? they are just examples of the use of the prefix.
