"This could account for the "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" line that occurs in Celtic folk tales" Damn, I like that. I really, really like that. Most people are unaware of how many things in our language/culture have ancient origins. When in Rome, do as the Romans.
Thank you for your kind #32.
One a similar vein, I've found the Picts enigmatic as well as facinating. I've read that the reason for the blue paint was that they considered themselves "sky people". I guess that they were a Celtic people, as they did not war with the Scots that came from Ireland and settled in Argyll.<p.Do you know of any references?
