Old Irish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Primitive Irish ᚊᚓᚅᚔᚂᚑᚉᚔ (qeniloci); the first element of this being usually identified as *kʷennom (“head”). The ᚔ (i) in the ogam spelling cannot represent /i/ (otherwise *Cillech would have resulted) nor a palatalizing schwa (otherwise one would expect *Ceillech). It must instead represent a non-palatal schwa. The second element is ancestral to Middle Irish loch (“dark”).
