Are there any insights into the etymology of óenach/óenaig aside from being a derivative of óen? And why it became indicative of an assembly? Tagging in @eDIL_Dictionary @ChronHib but perhaps others have some thoughts.

Yes, if this etymology is correct. I am still not convinced, though, that we need anything more complicated than an adjective from oén.

That’s fair, thank you!

I was looking up *ag today after seeing “agon regale” because it seemed too close to aige to be a coincidence, but I haven’t seen anything about oenach. I’ll see if I can find a ref from Kelly.

Indeed, óenach glosses agon - or vice versa - in the Lorica of Gildas and in the Latin Lives, but whether that proves anything is a different matter.
