...lies in them being "slimy" creatures in the water. None of the formally possible common preforms is amenable to an easy Indo-European explanation. This suggests that the word is perhaps a borrowing from a lost, prehistoric substrate language in Western Europe.

...similarity between the mechanical reconstructions of the Old Irish and the Latin words, neither of which has a satisfactory etymology otherwise. Periwinkles and leeches are very different animals and inhabit different habitats, but their conceptual similarity...

géscae [ˈgʲeːske] (i̯o, m) "(sub)branch" https://t.co/0RRTu2EdWr
Deriv: géc "branch" (#SnaST 78) + suffix -scae
Reco: < pre-Ir. *gēgg-sk-ii̯o-, as if < PC *kank-sk-ii̯o-
Clearly derived from géc "branch", *-sk- seems to have deminutive force here. https://t.co/dcgEMGKYul](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EEWwztAXsAAUhMr.jpg)
#SnaST 78/4
The initial g- of OIr. géc instead of excepted c- is either due to a dissimilation in pre-Goidelic, viz. *kankū- > *gankū-, or to an assimilation at the Proto-Goidelic stage when *nk had regularly changed to *gg, viz. Proto-Goid. *kēggū- > *gēggū-.

The initial p- is a clear indicator that it is a loanword, maybe from a pre-Celtic substrate language.

Intervocalic d after a short a is phonotactically very rare in Irish and is an indicator of an external origin.

...W from OIr.), but can't be proven. A link with Lith. skàsti, skantù "to leap" < PIE root *skeHt- (?) "to spring out" is phonologically unlikely. Maybe related with Ir. scata "host, drove, flock".

...represented by OIr. c [g], not by g [ɣ]. This points to a learned borrowing and finds a parallel in fetarlaic "Old Testament" < Lat. (in) uetere lege "(in the) old law", and astrolaic "astrology" < Lat. astrologia.

...spellings with mb support unlenited [m], which speaks for a learned adoption of the word. Possibly influenced by OIr. membar "limb, member", a loan from Lat. membrum.

..namely OIr. mebuir, W myfyr, OB memor, MB euor, NB eñvor "memory, thought", this seems to be a bookish borrowing. Neither gender and stem-class are clear, nor the quality of the middle m. A rhyme in Félire Óengusso Prol. 224 suggests lenited m, but several...

OW minn, pl. minnou must be a loan from OIr.
#SnaST 72/2
Reco: PC *mandu- "mark" < PIE collocation *mn̥-d- or *mn̥-dʰh₁- "to set one's mind" from PIE roots *men- "to think" and *dʰeh₁- "to put"
The original meaning must have been "mark", i.e. "something to attach one's mind to". Many semantic shifts from there in OIr.
