NOTE: IN ADDITION TO THE NAME NEITANO ON THE PEEBLES STONE, WE HAVE THE SAME PERSONAL NAME PRESERVED AT NENTHORN IN SCOTTISH BORDERS ONLY A DOZEN KILOMETERS OR SO ENE OF NEWSTEAD/TRIMONTIUM. THE PLACE-NAME IS PROPERLY NEITHON'S THORN (SEE https://berwickshire-placenames.glasgow.ac.uk/place-names/?p=record&id=658, http://www.clanntuirc.co.uk/JSNS/V7/JSNS7%20James.pdf AND https://berwickshire-placenames.glasgow.ac.uk/place-names/?p=record&id=658).
THE PLACE-NAME PLENDERNETHY HILL NEAR PRESTON IN SCOTTISH BORDERS PRESERVES A LOST STREAM NAME NEITHEACH, FROM THE SAME ROOT AS NEITHON. IN FACT, NEITHEACH MATCHES THE SECOND ELEMENT FOUND IN ABERNETHY, THE 'MOUTH OF THE NETHECH OR NEITHEACH.'
