Etymology of cat
It can be shown that all the forms for CAT are in fact ancient substrates, whence the Proto-Celtic, whence the Late Latin and Proto-Germanic forms. The root (possibly in pre-Celtic) may well be that of the semantic stock root of Welsh CAS (hater, foe, enemy), due to its wild and vicious nature in their pre-domesticated condition; or else related to the pre-Celtic river name "Cad" before being renamed in Celtic, "Plym", also meaning "sharp" here as flowing. The morphology of these British lexemes are all substrates and retained through the conquests. Andrew 20:42, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
