That's probably correct. I don't suppose the ancient Welsh used half the words that are used today in the street of Aberystwyth, but that doesn't make the new words any less valid. Gaelic, like Welsh has it's own set of phonetics, and 'Callanish' doesn't make sense using Gaelic phonetics (just like 'taxi' makes no sense in Welsh).

Sorry to get a bit tetchy about this, but it's a bit close to home.

Love on ya'll.
