Linguistic Analyses

AbstractThe Celts are commonly regarded as one of the Indo-European ethnolinguistic groups, speaking Celtic languages derived from Proto-Celtic. Numerous archaeobotanical, palaeogenetic and historical linguistic analyses demonstrate that the most ancient European pulse crops, such as chickpea (Cicer arietinum), grass pea (Lathyrus sativus), lentil (Lens culinaris), lupins (Lupinus spp.), pea (Pisum sativum), vetches (Vicia spp.) and faba bean (Vicia faba), were widely used in everyday life as early as sixth millennium BC. The Latin word denoting ‘pea’, pisum, was borrowed by both Brythonic and Goidelic languages, spoken during the first centuries AD in Britain and Ireland, and produced the words denoting ‘pea’ in their modern members. The ultimate origin of the words denoting ‘faba bean’ in all living and attested Celtic languages is the Proto-Indo-European root *bhabh-, denoting the same crop, literally meaning something swollen and imported from both the Latin faba and the Old Norse baun. The majority of the words denoting ‘grain’ in the Celtic languages are descendants of the Proto-Celtic root *grāno, denoting ‘grain’ and originating from the Proto-Indo-European *g'er[a]n-, *grān-, denoting ‘grain’ and ‘corn’.

SUMMARYPot experiments were used to test the effect of incorporating various organic materials in the soil on the nodulation of peas (Pisum sativum). Only farmyard manure gave a consistent increase in the number and weight of nodules, and also in plant growth, increases which were also produced by the aqueous extract of farmyard manure, although none of these increases were as large as those obtained by the addition of a combination of P and K fertilizers or activated vermiculite. Field beans (Vicia faba) and French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in general reacted in the same way as peas.
