 * 1) The source, at the word league, only has: "*leugā- (?)". Spelled differently and with ?.
 * It's very suspicious. John Koch should be well aware that Proto-Celtic had no diphthong (whether spelled eu or ew is irrelevant), as the PIE diphthong  had become  in Proto-Celtic. So the word would have to be reconstructed as, except that would give neither the apparent Gaulish source of  nor the attested Middle Breton words. I think the Breton words could come from a , which could maybe have become  by a kind of rounding metathesis, I suppose. Unfortunately, R:cel:EDPC has no entry for any spelling of this word. —Mahāgaja · talk 11:12, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
