Today I discovered this phrase of Welsh in my reading on IE Gods:
duw a dyn
Which translated means god and man.......
.......seemingly I have found the roots words for Tolkien's Dunedain (the god-men) of Numenor. Tolkien was a lover of the Welsh language, seems plausible to me.
I live on the edge.....
I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
“truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
Nietzsche
To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.

I have no comment on the OP directly, but I'll take this opportunity to ask about the Welsh language:
Is it true it is Verb-->Subject-->Object?
A simple statement in English
I want food.
The same statement in Welsh
Want I food.
