Don't use the frappr link. That site is dead.

Well... it's a pretty good explanation. It's just difficult to translate
something like this. Albures are not used by everybody, as the article
explains, but still we say 'sin albur' when we realize we've said something
that could be misinterpreted as a double entendre, even if we normally don't
engage in albures.

Love to see the West Coast contingent. Living in San Rafael now.
Conlanging is a whole appendix in my dissertation.

It looks somewhat like Gaelic, I guess. It's only a very superficial
visual resemblance, but the impression we get through our eyes is
important to us people, you know. It's the fadas and the -achs that
do it, I think.
But Sindarin sure is what it looks like the most!

It's Breton for "The great wedding-party is today at grandpa's house.
His children and grandchildren have been invited. Grandma has cooked
two cockerels on the oven."
Fun! I still remember a bit of this.
(Should be hiziv in place of hiviz, I think.)
You keep quoting this:

Do you disagree with the definition of Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Cornish,
Breton and Gaulish as Celtic? What about Lepontic and Celtiberian?
And there are some that are more questionable, but may have some
affiliation.
Do you think that artifacts made by people who speak a language
defined as Celtic should not be called Celtic?
