"...the Romano-British form of this Proto Celtic theonym is likely to have been *Dānua." That's good to know, but how is it specifically relevant to Dôn? 24.159.255.29 21:00, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of Romano-British. Still, perhaps a note could be added to the effect that the Romano-British form was the intermediate ancestor of the Welsh word.

- Actually, I'm cutting it altogether. Wikipedia doesn't really need these wordy "Dānua appears to be likely to be derived from Dānua" sentences. The source cited doesn't privilege a Proto-Celtic form Dānua over Dānu or Dān-ā or various other possibilities. In any case, it would make better sense to derive a Proto-Brythonic form from attested Welsh forms, than from a weak Proto-Celtic reconstruction. Q·L·1968 ☿ 17:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
