Where and when appeared Celtic?

I never said that Celts were among any side of the Tollense deads.
 
Hi,
as I promised last year, I will sort this excerpt of Celtic dictionary and its equivalent words and phrases in other European languages. I found this excerpt online, and I would appreciate it if any of you would kindly share with me or on this forum any sort of Celtic dictionary, list of personal names, or toponyms.

Thanks in advance, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

@MOESAN

Hi Moesan,

it goes as or is sorted as follows:

English - Celtic - Serbian (Slavic)

Spirit - *dusjo - Duša


... and then as well as:

English - Celtic - Italian (Latin)

Meat - *karnajo - Carne



I will sort the words in a table later when I catch the time.

Have a nice day!

I think we only need an Old Slavonic (Church) dictionary to solve this multilingual mixture. I mean, the whole thing will be much clearer.
 
'laut' in german (english 'loud') comes from some *hlûd root, IE kl°w- (Welsh clywed, Breton klewed, Gael- cluintinn to hear, close to Greek cleos, Slavic slav- (glory) I think - to be precised but roughly correct -
 
Interesting bunch of words with almost always clear correspondances for meaning: the IE family, in short - When I 've time I 'll took my Slavic(s) dictionaries and try to put Celtic corresponding words; but in fact, the links found beween Slavic and Celtic are found for the most in other IE parents, like Italic or Germanic... the kernel of Celto-Italic ad Germanic has been in contact with Slavs or/and Balto-Slavs in central Europe, I think. (Y-R1B-L11?)...

I think such contact occurred within the Unetice Culture (Italo-Celtic, Germanic, Balto-Slavic living side by side and interacting) and later to some extent in the amber trade and interactions along the Amber Road.
