@ChronHib I have a question for you, if that's alright. For my PhD I have looked at some Irish genealogies from some MSS, specifically ones with some very old OIr (TCD MS H.2.7 for example), but I have been told by two people that this archaic lang can't be seen as early

because it must have been archaicised for prestige in the later part of the early medieval period (say from the 10th c to the 12th), but that seems to run counter to what I've learned about OIr as a historian. This causes me concern as I feel like it invalidates my sources

As I am an early medievalist working on the 7th to 9th c.

Anyway, sorry to dump this question on you, it has just been something that weighs on my mind constantly, and as a PhD in the final year of my project I am worried that this will come back to haunt me.
