bannae
Old Irish
Alternative forms
Etymology
From Proto-Celtic *bandyo- (“drop”), loaned from a source akin to Proto-Slavic *baňa (“bath”), Latin balneum (“bath”), all from Ancient Greek βαλανεῖον (balaneîon, “bath”).[1] Also compared is Proto-Indo-Aryan *bindúṣ (“drop, particle, globule”), but Matasovic rejects this.[2]
Brittonic cognates include Middle Cornish and Breton banne (“drop”).
