Hello,> Does anything know anything more about this? In particular, about the > possibiltiy of 'Eire' being cognate?No, OIr _Eriú_ is AFAIR from _piwerijon-_, 'one (she, presumably) who feeds, gives drink'. It is thus cognate with Russian _poit'_ 'to give drink'. Pavel -- Pavel Iosad pavel_iosad@mail.ru Nid byd, byd heb wybodaeth --Welsh saying
