/Uum fegGig/ looks and sounds plausibly part of IB, though the exact
etymology escapes me at the moment, particularly since I don't have my books
at work.
Ywm could be indirectly < Lat vos, but that strikes me as a funny way to
name a language. Also, there's a resemblence to Welsh y and yn (if I'm
remembering right), which might be more pausible.
