[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle Welsh Lloegyr; further etymology unknown, with various disparate theories. See an in-depth analysis at this page at The Old North. TON claims Matasović (2009) presents the most plausible simple hypothesis, ultimately from Proto-Celtic *lāikor (“warriors”), from *lāiko- (“warrior”), from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂- (“war”), and cognate with Hittite 𒆷𒄴𒄩𒀸 (laḫḫa-, “campaign”), Ancient Greek λᾱός (lāós, “army, folk”).
