Commentary
Well-attested Celtic prefix/preposition (OIr. air, W ar-/er-, Bret. ar, LEIA: A-37 f.). In Gaulish, are- is amply attested as prefix in ethnic and place names: aremorici 'those before/by the sea' (thus in Endlicher's glossary: aremorici: antemarini. qui are: ante), aresequani 'those by the Seine', arelate > Arles '(place) by the moor' (see DLG: 52). Clear instances in personal names are rarer (e.g., aremagios), but many opaque names in ar° may contain the prefix (with syncopated e) (see KGP: 132–134, Delamarre 2007: 211 et passim, Wodtko 2013: 223 f.). On the weakening of i to e in the auslauts of certain prepositions see VKG: I 40, 256, CCCG: 4, 68, Lejeune 1971: 119, n. 411, Lambert 1994: 41, Uhlich 2010: 145–149, and cf. ande-, ate-). An attestation of are as preposition in Gaulish was suggested by Corthals, but judged unconvincing by Delamarre DLG: 52.
In Cisalpine Celtic, are- is attested twice as part of the morpheme syntagma ande-are- in personal names (one Cisalpine Gaulish, the other of uncertain ascription).
