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 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.

:confused:

The same statement in Welsh<using Welsh words but this order>
Want I food.
