Abstract

State of the art of what has been said in favour of and against the alleged ablatival genitives of the Celtiberian and Lepontic o-stems. The discussion extends to further Celtic forms — Goidelic as well as Gaulish and also Primitive Continental — which could be explained along the same lines, i.e. als continuing the arcaic Indo-European undifferentiated genitive-ablative singular, such as the coin legends RIG-IV-84f., 91, 277 or the inscriptions RIG-G-24 and 250f. and, in particular, G-154 from Villelaure and *L-131 from Vindonissa/ Windisch; the Calendar of Coligny and the Tablet of Chamalières are also discussed.
