Damn that dastardly AWAR Spammer

That's quite an interesting list, I think the influence of Latin is quite apparant

In some instances, yes. But, remember that Gaulish is of the same branch
of Centum IE as Latin and Italic. Who knows how many pre-Celtic words have been introduced into Gaelic and Brythonic which didn't exist in continental Celtic.

That may well be true. I suppose ultimately, it is only speculation.
The Gaelic languages were likely derived from Celtiberian (with some pre-Gaelic Irish additions possible, I suppose), while the Brythonic languages are allegedly more rleated to the Gaulish.

I admit I don't know a great lot about the Centum IE distinctions, etc
I just understand the Q-Celtic/P-Celtic distinction.

The Celtic languages are supposedly closest related to the Italic branch anyway
