Argues that OIr. cingid derives from PC *kang-e/o- rather that keng-e/o-, and establishes the quantity of ambiguous OIr. cē̆s (LEIA C-79; cf. DIL C-147.74) as long (cés).
Argues that Scéla mucce meic Dathó is an elaborated, Christian-oriented satire composed in a monastic milieu, whose author makes use of the boasting contest with the aim of ridiculising the warlike lifestyle of Early Ireland. Furthermore argues that Cú Chulainn is the unnamed subject of a parody at the anticlimatic end of the narrative.
Review article on works on Saint Brendan and voyage literature: The legend of St. Brendan: a critical bibliography, comp. by Glyn S. Burgess and Clara Strijbosch (Dublin: RIA, 2000); The Celtic west and Europe: studies in Celtic literature and the early Irish church, by Doris Edel
(Dublin: Four Courts, 2001); Studies in Irish hagiography: saints and scholars, ed. by John Carey, Máire Herbert and Pádraig Ó Riain (Dublin: Four Courts, 2001); Brendans Inseln: Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis, ed. by Wolfgang Schüter (Wien: Edition per procura, 1997). Also provides detailed evidence that a speaker of Irish composed Navigatio Sancti Brendani, and suggests a terminus ante quem non of 825 based on a comparison with Dicuil’s De mensura orbis terrae.
Studies the morphology and semantics of this onomastic sub-group, and
concludes that the Indo-European name-forming principles are well
represented in it, given that the four main types are extant (full
names of one and two stems, short names and hypocoristics), while semantically these names show their own particularities.
