Note 24 — Chapter VII · Triumphs of the Water-world

See the Revue Celtique, ii. 197. He was also called Labraid Longsech, and Labraid Longsech Lorc. The explanation of Labraid Lorc is possibly that it was originally Labraid Morc, and that the fondness for alliteration brought it into line as Labraid Lorc: compare Ỻûđ Ỻaweraint in Welsh for Nûđ Ỻaweraint. This is not disproved by the fact that Labraid Lorc’s grandfather is said to have been called Loegaire Lorc: Loegaire Lorc and Labraid Lorc are rather to be regarded perhaps as duplicates of the same original. ↑
