In Journal of English and Germanic Philology 124.3, @nicolai1505.bsky.social argues that the commonly held view that Irish /ṽ/ uniquely yielded ON [v] is groundless because it builds on a faulty analysis of the evidence. @projectmuse.bsky.social @ndiscenza1.bsky.social muse.jhu.edu/pub/34/artic...

We are very proud of a strong presence of Galway employees and alumni at the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies, which was a fantastic event and marvellously organised by @elenaparina.bsky.social and her great team in Bonn on behalf of the Societas Celtologica Europaea:

A screenshot of the petition site where the number of signatures has reached 3706. It shows the logo of Utrecht University over a Celtic Torque, that is held at the Rijksmuseum of Oudheiden, Leiden

It is incredible and wonderful to see the support for our petition - 3700 signatures since Tuesday! I hope this petition may be symbolic as well for the other smaller languages in NL that are currently under threat. 1/2
