Yes, and most known Zeus. When did the IE split? 6k ago, posibly earlier. Triglav finds were documented by 1,000CE in Pomerania. Don't you think that during 5,000 years of IE spit, the IE religion didn't evolve in separate ways? We are talking about 5,000 (!) years, at least, of accumulated differences in Celtic, Slavis, Greek or Germanic pagan religions.
There are similarities, and lots of them, but there are big differences too, in languages and also in religions. Do you feel like denying it?
of course not...
I was just trying to show dublin that Triglav-alike god in Celtic lands is by no mean indicator (and not proof as he suggests) of Slavic people in celtic lands...
i claim that *uend is just name for border lands of R1a people and may have been given to variious tribes...
Vikings are certainly not Slavic people....though of course there may have been some slavic people among them... same as pirates later were not nationaly conscious people but united in goal for robbing other people...
dublin starts with assigning PIE *deub in dublin to the Slavic influence, continues with three headed eity = presence of Slavic people
which is lot of assumptions to come to conclusion that from what i see just doesnot hold that vikings are slavic people...
This is only assumed, though probably right. The main issue here is that the tree elements are not gods, there are 3 gods that represent these elements, right? Behind 3 faces (of any trinity, together with christian's) there are 3 gods, which have there own names. What are they? Do Slavs, or you, ancient texts, know the proper Slavic names for the god of sky, earth and underworld, that consist the triglav? No? What a shame. Obviously they needed one shorter name to describe this trinity, but Triglav doesn't sound right, Devin, worth of gods.
glavno = main, key
so Triglav, may have been what I describe...
i do not see your point in claiming it was not Slavic god originally, when it could have eaasily been....
All we know is that these statues represent Triglav, threehead. "Oh look father, there is a threehead"! Again, this is not a proper god's name. Besides, statues of Triglav are more commonly found in France or Ireland than in slavic lands, except West Pomerania.
from what i read he was Slavic god...
whole idea clearly comes from PIE religion that sees a world as big tree whose top is sky/heaven, mid is world, and roots is underworld...
it is very natural to have deity that operates in all 3 worlds....
If you right in your supposition about Triglav being slavic god, you should be able to find more of them in slavic lands, which were christened much later than France or Ireland. What about Baltic states? Christianity in some places came there by 16-17th century? Do they have Triglav? Surely they are IE people.

I don't see Triglav, do you?
Triglav is also known by Russian mythology...
no clue...
I'm not expert in Celtic or old IE to comment much here. On first glance I noticed that this was put together by someone from Bulgaria, and most cognates found in Bulgarian too. We should mention that Bulgarian is one of most foreign influence Slavic language anyway. The correspondences of words don't look professionally done, and most "cognates" need a strong stretch of imagination. Plus, I'm sure if we had a member on eupedia who speaks Celtic from 3000 years ago, he would prove you, and person who did this comparison, easily wrong.
that's because author is probably Bulgarian and has no clue about PIE vocabulary... it is one of those "scientific" papers that goes on conferences with lot of wishful thinking authors....
alternatively, Procopius does claim that Bulgarians origin from Cimerrians, which may have lead to those words...as Thraco-Cimmerians archeological findings are all the way to Denmark...
I can try fast to compile similar thing in Serbian for most of the names.... point is those are just PIE derived words....with many of them being preserved in Slavic languages...
Belenos was another important Gaulish god. His name means the bright, white one [15], p. 30 and his closest equivalent is Slavic Belobog. the name of this deity can’t be explained in Irish, Scottish, or Welsh language. In these languages

LOUCETIUS means The bright one [15], p. 142, and his name corresponds best to Slovene word LUČ light

SMERTRIUS, or MARS SMERTRIUS was another war-god [15], p. 193, which name I connect with Common Slavic word
