Free text:	== Commentary == Among the host of Continental Celtic personal names in ''an''°, which include those with prefixed privative {{m\|\|an- (privative)\|an-}}, {{m\|\|ande-}} and {{m\|\|ad-}} in various stages of assimilation, some may be formed from a lexical base ''an''- (or derived from a compound with a corresponding first element), though the identification is often difficult. Candidates include primarily simplex and derived names, e.g. ''ana'', ''anno'', ''annius'', ''anniola'', ''annianus'', ''anniccus'' (with hypocoristic gemination? {{bib\|Delamarre 2007}}: 20, 22 f.). One might consider a connection with the Celtic root ''ana''- 'breath, inspiration' in the Gaulish names ''anauus'', ''anaugeno'', ''annausonius'', maybe ''aneunos'' ({{bib\|Lambert 1994}}: 95: participle 'inspired'), which is connected with OBret. onomastic ''anau''-, W ''anaw'' 'poetic inspiration, riches' < ''h₂enh₁-u̯on''-, also in ''anant'' 'poets' < ''h₂n̥h₁-n̥t''-, OIr. ''anae'' 'wealth, riches', ''anair'' 'poem, poetic metre', OIr. ''an''- 'breathe, wait' ({{bib\|LEIA}}: A-71 f.), MW ''eneit'' 'soul', Gaulish {{bib\|RIG}} L-98 <span class="tr_lat">anatia</span> (pl.) 'spirits' according to Fleuriot and Lambert (see {{bib\|DLG}}: 44 with literature), all from the PIE root ''h₂enh₁''- 'breathe' (see {{bib\|Stifter 2016b}}: 41). Cf. also the Irish theoynm ''anu''. OIr. ''án'' 'splendid, fiery, bright' ({{bib\|LEIA}}: A-72) has fitting semantics for personal onomastics, but its etymology and PC form is unclear. {{bib\|Meid 2005}}: 217 s.v. ''ana'', ''ano'', ''annitio'' identifies the base as the ''Lallwort'' ''ano''- 'ancestor' ({{bib\|IEW}}: 36 f., though without lexical Celtic attestations). Less likely for personal names is an association with ''ana'' 'swamp', which is attested in toponyms ({{bib\|DLG}}: 43 f.). {{bib\|Lochner von Hüttenbach 1989}}: 16 f. with older literature considers the base of ''annius'' to be Italic. <p style="text-align:right;>[[User:David Stifter\|David Stifter]], [[User:Corinna Salomon\|Corinna Salomon]]</p>
