Sorry BN, that was a cut and waste excercise!

What I meant to do:

"If we now say that Ogham/Ogma may be a derivative based on the similar name we must also think that this derivative may not reflect the "heart" of Ogmios but may just encompass some peripheral similarities."

That depends on whether one considers the 'heart' of a god of language to be 'language', or to be a cultural interpretation of language. This is confusing as hell to me. As for the similarities in representation, all i can say is "I've been done guv",

bah to books. Thanks old chap for the clearing up.

I know what you mean, I spent ages researching Ogmios only to find most of the "knowledge" to be interpretations ontop of interpretations - many of which were dubius.

I even asked some linguists for an understanding of the name similarities, it appears even here there is no easy progression from Ogmios to Ogham or Ogma. It is possible, but only with a great deal of rule bending and imagination apparently.
