Footnotes

1. ^

   While the Irish name "Tadg" is generally considered to mean "poet", the mythical king Tadg mac Céin is repeteadly associated with badgers in stories. It probably represents a merger of two names.

2. ^

   Germanic *þahsuz, Latin taxō, and/or Latin taxsus may be borrowed from Celtic.

3. ^

   Balto-Slavic is a satem branch, so PIE /ḱ/ should go to /s/, as in šeimà from this root. kiẽmas is therefore assumed to be an early borrowing from Germanic instead of an in situ development.
