fochlae
Old Irish
Etymology
From Proto-Celtic *uɸokliyom (“north”), a derivative of *kliyos (“left”) (whence clé (“left”), hence synchronically analyzable as fo- + clé). Cognate with Welsh gogledd (“north”). In Matasović's words, "the development from ‘left’ to ‘north’ lies in the fact that the north is on the left side when one is facing the east (the rising sun)."[1]
