MORE ON THE NEITANO AND YARROW STONES (from T.M. Charles-Edwards)



The following material was drawn from

https://books.google.com/books?id=AK_yn7Q3_x0C&pg=PA147&lpg=PA147&dq=%22neitano%22%2B%22neithon%22&source=bl&ots=17ZN1FiVL2&sig=ACfU3U00RQtEoCIj_uX3so8xPt2IonxmDg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUkMDk4rTjAhUDL3wKHY94DCgQ6AEwCHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22neitano%22%2B%22neithon%22&f=false


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=658http://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.'  SEE https://spns.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Alan_James_Brittonic_Language_in_the_Old_North_BLITON_Volume_II_Dictionary_2019_Edition.pdf.
