Oh no! It's more fodder for the Celtic-Semitic Connection Hypothesis!
If i remember the "Bran teaches Will(?) to read Welsh" scene from _The
Grey King_ in the _Dark is Rising_ fantasy book series, {w} in Welsh is
pronounced /u/? Which would make {Wlpan} something like /ulpan/ - and
/ulpan/ is Hebrew for "intensive language-learning program"!
meep!
