    I don't think that you mentioned "Ynys". A common prefix for place names but doesn't always mean island as most dictionaries would tell you. It is a water meadow or a flood plain as in Ynyshir, a long meadow alongside a river, prone to flooding. Just think of Ynyshir (between Porth and Wattstown) without the houses. There are some odd names though that I don't get. Nant Y Caws. I'm sure it's not a stream of cheese😁 Nant Y Glo. I'm sure that isn't a stream of coal.😁 Maybe Pant and not Nant originally. Makes a bit more sense. Porthcawl. I'm sure that isn't a place for exporting soup/ stew. It was a busy coal port in the late 19th century Ystrad and Pont are probably due to Latin influence. Strata and Pont. Strata Florida in Carmarthenshire. Valley of flowers. Strathclyde, Clyde valley. What have the Romans ever done for us?😄 Thanks for that. Excellent video. Thought provoking

    Silures probably means "from the same Seed". In other words, "Our People" which in one way or another is the same with other Brythonic peoples. The root of the Iceni is yGeni. Geni is Birth, Cenedl means nation, so again this means from the same seed. The Pictii was most certainly applied to all Britons who Painted themselves, with woad, charcoal, ochre etc and not just those living in Caledonia. Britancoli (Dirty Little Britons) was similarly applied to those living north and south of the Wall.

      There's a general rewriting of history by modern, usually Irish or English catholics, "historians" erasing the Scots & interjecting the anachronistic "Irish" instead. Even new editions of Bede's "Ecclesiastical History" which, in the original states the nations living in Britain as English Scottish Picts & Britons , has been changed to put "Irish" instead of Scots. Stalin would be proud of this work. "Irish" means "of the west" ie "western Scots/Gaels"

    I’d be interested in your view on this. I think that Votadini and Gododdin are the same people, and that the former is simply a Latinisation of the latter. Firstly, I don’t speak or read Welsh and my Latin is rudimentary - O level, 60 years ago! - but I am interested in early medieval Britain and specifically what is nowadays southern Scotland (I am myself from there), so I am hypothesising at best, or just guessing. But here we go - The Romans generally tended to name people with a Latin approximation of their own names for themselves. That didn’t mean that they couldn’t make up names or infer names for people they’d never actually met, based on something they were told by others, but that’s what they usually did - there are lots of examples of that. So how would you get from Gododdin to Votadini? Latin has no letter W, the letter V usually indicates a “w” (or “oua”) sound. Latin has no “th” sound - where it appears in other languages it often becomes a hard “d” or “t” in Latin. The terminal “i” in Latin often indicates either a masculine plural or a masculine genitive singular (“of the”) noun. The letter “I” is almost always the “ee” sound. So VOTADINI becomes WOH - TAH - DEEN - (EE). (Where the “EE” is probably simply a pluralisation). Brythonic languages - I think - have a “GW” sound often represented by “G” and “dd” is pronounced as the English “th”. So the Brythonic “might” (?) have been GODODDIN = GWOH - DOH - THEEN. If I’m even approximately right it seems a remarkable coincidence. What do you think?

    • @mrwelshmun
      @mrwelshmun 2 місяці тому

      I think that's a reasonable assumption. It makes sense. The only thing I can say about it really is that when I was researching the video the Manaw Gododdin were recorded as working with the Votadini against the picts. But it could have been another tribe with a similar name too.

      @@mrwelshmun Thanks, it’s an interesting subject. I think most of the Romans’ names for others were just that - Latinised versions of what they heard people being called or calling themselves. It’s the logical and practical thing to do, and where a literate and dominant society meets a non literate and subject one, and its language lacks some of the sounds, the approximation of the name that the literate society commits to paper will become the “correct” name. As a more modern example of the same phenomenon, Africa is full of names of people and places given to them by colonial powers approximating unfamiliar sounds, and combinations of sounds, into written European languages - names which have often since been adopted by the people themselves, simply because they were written down like that.

    Fideo ddiddorol iawn! / A fascinating video! Daliwch ati! / Keep at it! Coming from Blaenau Gwent, I'm very interested in the Silures, but I've never really gone out of my way to research them thoroughly. Have you thought about making a general video about them? That would be very informative for a lot of people. As regards the name Silures, Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru says only: Llwyth Brythonig a drigai yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru yng nghyfnod y Rhufeiniaid ("A Brythonic tribe who lived in southeast Wales in the Roman period."). Wiktionary gives this etymology: "[Silures] Borrowed from Ancient Greek Σίλυρες (Sílures), of Celtic origin, possibly Proto-Celtic *sīlom (“seed; stock, lineage”)." When Brythonic became Old Welsh, one of the major phonetic changes was that initial *s became h, e.g. haf ("summer") from Proto-Celtic *samos. Sīlom would have given hil ("lineage") in Welsh, and is found in phrases like yr hil ddynol ("the human race"). Since the Silures thought of themselves as different to the surrounding 'tribes', could their name have meant something like 'human beings', cf. the native American tribe, the Cheyenne, who called themselves Tsistsistas (“human beings”). Just a thought.... Even though we know that classical writers, like Tacitus, noted that the Silures looked different to the other inhabitants of Britain, there's no mention of the language they spoke. They probably spoke British Celtic, which some believe was very close to Irish Celtic at the time, and this would tie in with the suggested connection to Proto-Celtic *sīlom . Italic Latin and the Celtic languages have no difficulty differentiating between /k/ and /s/, cf. W. castell ("castle") from L. castellum; W. sant ("saint"), L. sānctus.

      @@phylbrake3719 glad you enjoyed! Yeah, I've tried to do a general video on them in the past, but it's so difficult to find information on one specific tribe. My ultimate goal would be to do a proper documentary on them. As in go to museums, see and film artefacts. Visit their known sites etc and tell the story. But that would be months of work and a lot of money. Both of which I can't justify doing right now. If youtube ever takes off for me, that would be the goal.. I would invest in better equipment and research and take proper time to make quality content. Right now, I'm self employed out side of UA-cam, I'm part way through renovating a house and I have 3 dogs and 2 chickens to look after. So my ability to make content is very limited. Onto your comment about the origin of the name. As you pointed out, we only really have the classical interpretation on the origin. I was just trying to give a hypothetical alternative in this video lol. It's even possible they called themselves something that sounded nothing like Silures or Cilures. I've even seen someone suggest in a comment section somewhere that they may have called themselves something like the Gwenti, Gwenta or Gwent. Because that's the modern name for the area. Seems unlikely to me because Caerleon was called Venta Silurum (pronounced Wenta)

      @@mrwelshmun Pob lwc gyda'r prosiect! / All the best with the project! I remember reading a article some years ago claiming that archaeological finds show that the Silures built roads. I notice that that argument is expressed in 'Silures: Resistance, Resilience, Revival', by R. Howell, published by The History Press (2022). I haven't had a chance to read it yet. On the whole, the Romans adopted the local names of the 'tribes' they came into contact with. Take the Volcae, a continental Celtic tribe that moved from Germany to Gaul. The name, Volcae, itself is possibly from Proto-Celtic *wolkos (“hawk”). It's believed that Proto-Germanic *walhaz (“Celt, Roman”) , which eventually became Welsh in English, is derived from Volcae. The Galles in French Pays de Galles can be traced back to the same source. Why would they not follow this rule in the case of the Silures? As you say the capital of the Silures during the Roman period was Venta Silurum, which, in turn, has given us the name Gwent; the sound shift of initial *v (IPA: [β]) to *gw- is one that is usually associated with late Celtic British becoming Primitive Welsh.
