Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The author discusses the derivation of the name Gangani, used by Ptolemy for a people in Ireland and Wales, suggesting that it has an etymological link with Middle Welsh gwyd and Old Irish géd, both meaning `goose', and that this would indicate totemic implications. |
