Beltane

...(Scottish)=May Day,=bealltainn(Gaelic)=beltaine(OIrish)= boaltinn/boaldyn(Manx), on which the (heathen=h/th/t/tletl/t/th)= Xiuhtletl=Fire Deity))Irish lit fires and drove cattle(=Ecatl/Ehecatl(N/2 Tonalamatl)=Hecate) through them, referred to in Old Celtic as, belotinia(hypothetical form)="bright fire", not a likely form, however, uel(o)tia(N)= drive someone off, e.g., shoo(E)=drive away birds,=sh/xiuh!(N)=shout to drive off dogs?, or, uilotl(N)=paloma/dove, also, uilana(N)=wheel(E)=guilan(Cornish)=gull(E)? no to all, but, uilotlatia/ouilotlati(N)=nite-uilotlatia(N)=bewitch/echar la suerte(sp)=try one's luck, hmmm, fits "bright fire"= belotinia(OCeltic), sort of, but, bealltainn(Gaelic)=ue altia(N)=way(big)altar(E)=bealté(OE)=beauty/beatitude(E)= bue/ue al/lt ia, reversal a/i, in(N)=-inn(Gael), reversal,=the way/buey/guey(sp/pun)altar. there is enough flex in Nauatl to entertain both the Old Celtic version, the Irish, not as "bright fire", but as, uelotia(N)=drive off, nite-uilotlatlia(N)= bewitch/echar/Hecate sortilege/suerte(sp), and the Scottish/Xochitl(N)=Flower version, bealtainn(Gaelic/reversal)= inn ue altia(N)=bealté(OE)=beauty(big)büey/ güey(sp)/way altar of beatitude=the big altar of May.
