@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
I’m reciting his footnote from Clavis from memory, I know Damian McManus does not agree with it. I don’t recall a page from the top of my head but I believe it is the first volume, one of the initial footnotes in the introduction.

That’s the one!

The question of early language being truly early is based on this book Dark Speech by Robin Stacey, at least that what these two gents said. Haven’t read the book myself as it deals with Irish law.

yes, rosc is considered by some to be very early but it has been a long time since I have had the chance to get back into it. I have Dark Speech on my bookshelf so I will have a look this weekend.
