| has gloss | eng: In ancient Gaul, Tarvos Trigaranus was a bull god. An alternative spelling is Taruos Trigaranos since the Latin script did not distinguish U and V. The words are Gaulish: Tarvos means bull (Delmarre 2003 pp.291-292) - similar to Old Irish tarb, a bull, Welsh tarw, a bull, and in other Indo-European languages such as Latin taurus or Lithuanian taŭras. Garanus means crane (the bird), similar to Welsh, Old Cornish and Breton garan. In the Germanic languages this became *krana(n) from which is derived the English word "crane" (Delmarre 2003 p. 175). Treis, or Tri- in composition, is the number three, as seen in Tricorii ("the three troops") and Trinox ("three nights", in the Gaulish calendar of Coligny) (Delmarre 2003 pp.301-302). |
