> Strangely enough whilst out visiting friends in a remote hamlet on the Cotswold yesterday, they lived in Turkdean, vague thoughts that it was french but no it turns out that it translates back to the celtic, Valley of the Boars - Twrch = boar; dene = valley.. to go back to etymology.

Going off a yet another tangent, I once read (or perhaps it was on TV or the radio) that the very flexibility of the word-order in English is due to the influence of the 'Celtic' language(s) on Old English - a flexibility not found in other Germanic languages. If true, it suggests a far greater interaction between the 'Celtic' peoples of these islands and the Anglo-Saxon immigrants.
