@DrSueOosthuizen ?7thC Widsith certainly might support--'Rumwalas' (ln 69) for Romans & 'Wala ric' (ln 78) for Roman Empire, + cf ASC 660 :)
@caitlinrgreen @DrSueOosthuizen FWIW have heard Martin Findell suggest Widsith texts Rumwalum may = copy error for Romwarum "people of Rome"
@SurreyMedieval @DrSueOosthuizen It's possible, but think Chambers, Neidorf etc right to reject given Wala ric for Roman empire in ln 77...
@SurreyMedieval @DrSueOosthuizen (ln 78, not 77!) Also cf cognates Old Norse Valir for Romans etc & OHG uualha, Romani :)
@caitlinrgreen @DrSueOosthuizen "Roman" obv 1 sense in OE but evidence suggests walh was put to a greater range of uses than other languages
@SurreyMedieval @DrSueOosthuizen But not necessarily at an early stage, no, IIRC? Early=Roman/Briton, later slave esp in SW?
@caitlinrgreen @SurreyMedieval TCE sugg broad meaning persists to 12thC... ????
@DrSueOosthuizen @SurreyMedieval Oh, agree w/ TCE (pp.1-2) that not restricted to just 'Welsh'/Wales until 12thC and w/ general point :)
@DrSueOosthuizen @SurreyMedieval (and btw, yes, TCE's volume is marvellous!!)
