Ducange, in his elaborate ' Glossary of Mediaeval Latinity,' furnishes no exception to this remark. His etymologies of Celtic words are usually drawn from other sources. Mr. Halliwell, in his ' Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words,' when speaking of so common a Celtic word as pen, head or summit, tells us that " the word pen is said to be of Phoenician extraction. It was first introduced into Cornwall where the Phoenicians had a colony, who worked the tin mines. Hence we have many names in hermes bags Cornwall which begin hermes bags outlet with pen." (Hall, sub v. Pendle-rock.) There is no necessity, however, to go so far for hermes handbags the origin of the word.

It is a pure tiffany outlet Celtic t erm, and is still used every day by hermes handbags the hermes bags outlet Welsh in their own language. We have also Pendle Hill, Penrith, and many other words with the same prefix in the north of England, where the Phoenicians never penetrated. The most cursory examination of a Welsh dictionary would have convinced a comparative philologist that the word belongs to the Celtic stock. Mr. Knight, too, in his ' Pictorial Shakspere,' finding in Coriolanus (Act iii. Sc. 1) the expression clean tiffany jewelry outlet tiffany outlet kam, is at a loss for the exact meaning of the phrase.

He says in a note, " We take this to mean, nothing to the purpose." A knowledge of the Celtic languages hermes bags would, however, have removed all doubt as tiffany and co outlet to the meaning of the expression. In all the branches of the Celtic stock, cam signifies crooked,' ' awry,' ' false,' and in this sense it is used by tiffany & co outlet our great dramatist. The word is still retained in the Lancashire dialect (rich in Celtic forms), in hermes outlet which to cam hermes birkin is ' to make crooked,' or ' to bend awry.' It is ev idently quite time, for the credit of our scholarship, that the Celtic element of our language should be more carefully studied. In France, Messrs. Le Pelletier, Legonidec and de Villemarque' have thrown tiffany & co outlet much light on the nature and hermes kelly origin of the French language by their researches into the Breton hermes outlet tiffany jewelry outlet or the Franco-Celtic tongue. So long as this class of languages shall be ignored or imperfectly studied among us, it will be impossible to analyse the English language correctly, or to write tiffany and co outlet its history.
