Rejects (with W. Cowgill 1957; see BILL 3082) the view that the Milan disyllabic hapax teüir reflects a morphological archaism of Indo-European (i.e. an ablauting stem containing a feminine suffix *-sor-; cf. K. McCone, in Ériu 44 (1993), pp. 53-73), and argues that the Celtic forms are best understood as continuing uniform proto-Celtic stems *tisr- and *kwtesr-.
