IB doesn't retain them, if they were ever promulgated. The names obviously weren't taken very seriously *here*. Claude, as a Dumnonian name, is Llouydde; the Divine Claudius, the name of the emperor, is Clauedio. The others don't survive, though I suppose might be Ner� and Hiermaneck or Giermaneck. Cherm� (descended from germanus) survives as a word for close friend, relative or fellow Dumnonian. Padraic. She stuck the knife in the baby's head, Weela weela wallia; The more she stabbed it, the more it bled, Down by the river Sallia. Three big knocks came a-knocking at the door, Weela weela wallia; Two policeman and a man, Down by the river Sallia. -Childe Ballad #20, The Cruel Mother -- Ill Bethisad -- <http://www.bethisad.com> Come visit The World! -- <http://www.geocities.com/hawessos/> .
