Irish socc `ploughshare, snouel<br \/>\nThe first of these does not yet have an identified Indo-European etymology, while the second shows phonological problems that com-plicate any interpretations based upon its obvious similarity to Indo-European *sii- (LEIA, S-159). The unexpected *-kk- of these forms has been interpreted either as a spontaneous lautsymbolisch&#8217; (Wagner 1954, 92) or `expressive&#8217; (LEIA, M-69) development, or soon indication of an ultimate non-IE origin (Hamp 1987; 1989). None of these views can be ruled out as logically impossible, but since for all practical purposes they are un-demonstrable it is worth continuing to examine these etyma in the hope of unearthing an analysis that keeps largely within the bounds of the known principles of Indo-European phonology and morphology. Hamp (1987) has suggested that there is reason to believe that the similarity between *mokku- and *sukko- originally encompassed not only the anomalous *-kk- but also the declension class. Hamp proposes that a third Celtic teen for &#8216;pig,&#8217; Welsh hob, is ultimately to be traced back to the same stem as that underlying hwch. The final -b becomes comprehensible if we reconstruct the starting-point for hob as a velar-final u-stem (*suk(k)u-) upon which the vocalic stem-suffix *-d- was subsequently superimposed. With the addition of the 5-4- the original *-u-became incorporated into the stem as a semivowel (*sukw-11-), and the resulting *-kw- underwent the regular development into *-p- (thus *suk(k)u- &gt; *(s1h)ukw-c7- &gt; *(s\/h)upel &gt; hob). While the puzzle of the geminate *-kk- remains to be resolved, Hemp&#8217;s interpretation of the relation between hob and hooch renders it likely that the thematic declension of *sukko- is secondary and that at an earlier stage *sukko-<br \/>\nThe semantic development seen in Irish socc seems to have taken place quite early, as this meaning seems to have also existed in Gaulish, evidently the source of French soc. See Kelly (1998, 464-70).<br \/>\nErie L (1999) 161-164 \u00a9 Royal Irish Academy<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">162 DAVID TEST.<br \/>\nwas declined as a u-stem (*suk(k)u-). *Suk(k)u- thus ultimately seems to have agreed in declension class with the other term for pig&#8217;, *mokku-.<br \/>\n*mokk- u-*sukk- u- *sukk-o-) *suk(k)- so- a<br \/>\nIn short these two etymologically obscure stems for &#8216;pig&#8217; share both an unexplained stem-final geminate *-kk- and a characteristic declension-class suffix *-u-. To the best of my knowledge it has not hitherto been suggested that the attested Celtic languages document a reflex of the Indo-European sequence 5-pk-. This fact is relevant, as the overall structure common to both *mokku- and *sukku-, viz. u-stem substantives that feature a stem-final velar and are used to refer to important domesticated animals, calls to mind the well-known Indo-European noun *peliu- \u2022 livestock &#8216;. Is it possible that the stems *mokku- and *sukku- originated as *X-pku, and *Y-pku&#8217;, i.e. as compounds containing, as their second component, a zero-grade manifestation of IE *peku-? Although in the absence of further evidence it, is impossible to state with certainty what the Celtic outcome of IE *-pk- was, in terms of general methodology it is attractive to seek the source of a highly marked phonological phenomenon such as the Celtic *-kk- in a highly restricted starting-point, such as is constituted by the co-occurrence of two Indo-European phonemes that would rarely have had occasion to come into contact. It is known that the Indo-European cluster 5-pt- yielded *-xt- in Celtic (cf. Irish secht, Welsh seith &#8216;seven&#8217; &lt; *septet) and that the outcome of *-ps-has fallen together with that of *-ks- (Thumeysen 1975, 139). It would not be surprising to find that the *p of the Indo-European cluster *-pk-is similarly reflected by a pre-Celtic velar (*-pk- &gt; .*-xk-&#8216;), in which case it is easy to imagine that the outcome of *-pli- ultimately assumed the shape *-kk- in Common Celtic. In short there is a possibility that the agreement that we find linking *mokku- and *suk(k)u- is not a coincidence: both may well have had their starting-points as compounds sharing a common second element\u2014cf. the (thematized) Avestan compound kamna-fSuua- lew-herds&#8217; (Yasna 46.2). The nature of the two first elements, *mo- and non, remains more difficult to ascertain. Each might in principle prove to be a loan-word from another language, incorporated by the early Celts into native compounds e*mo-stock&#8217;, *su-stock&#8217;). On the other hand, the *su- of *suk(k)u- suggests that we might see a reflex of the familiar Indo-European element *11,su- well.&#8217; (thus *suk(k)u- &lt; *H,su-pku-), although it must be granted that *H,su- is most typically, found in compounds serving as bahuvrihi modifiers (i.e. *Hsu-pku- &#8216;*well-castled &#8216;). Another, rather more speculative line of interpretation might take note<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">STEM-FINAL IN CELT. TERMS FOR &#8216;PIG&#8217; 163<br \/>\nof the fact that, as we are reconstructing here an otherwise undocumented phonological sequence (viz. the Celtic reflex of *-pk-), the possibility exists that the sequence in question exercised phonological effects not observed elsewhere, or at least not yet identified elsewhere. It that becomes theoretically conceivable that the *su- of *suk(k)u- is a mani-festation of the familiar Indo-European term *surf- &#8216;pig&#8217; and that the unique consonant cluster reconstructed above exerted a vowel-shortening (or, laryngeal-deleting) influence on a preceding syllable&#8211;*sii-pku- (*sull-pku-)&#8217; *swine-stock &#8216; &gt; *siixku- (*su(H)xku-)&gt; *suk(k)u-.5 If we ultimately prove to be justified in ascribing a vowel-shortening (or laryngeal-deleting) effect to the cluster *-kk- &lt; *-pk- we will have available several interesting new avenues in addressing the problem of the related etymon *mokku-. It may, for example, be possible to compare the first component of *mokku- with the stem *m\/f- underlying the Celtic adjective *moro- &#8216; great &#8216; (Irish mar, men. (comparative md, superlative m0(a)m), Welsh mawr)\u2014hence *mokku- may have originated as *me&#8221;- pku-&#8216; *great-stock &#8216; (perhaps in reference to a domesticated animal larger than the ovicaprids). At the same time another potential interpretation is provided by the etymologically obscure Irish mat (nuita)&#8217; sow&#8217; (evidently &lt; *mon, or *mant-), in which one might well be inclined to seek a stem *mo- capable of acting as the first component of *mokku-. *(moH-?)-pliu- &gt; *mo-xku- &gt; *mokku-*(suH-?)-picu- &gt; *su-xku- &gt; *sukku- (&gt; *sukko-) While the two elements 5su- and *mo- remain to be fully explicated, I suggest that the reconstruction of a pair of compounds provides a promising avenue for dealing with the similarities that we find linking the two stems *mokku- and *sukk-o-Issukw-c7-. While the preceding discussion remains for the time being a matter of speculation, it is hoped that further investigation will ultimately provide us with the means to determine the extent to which these conjectures are justified&#8217; It is entirely possible that the attested Celtic corpora contain as yet unrecognized evidence that will enable us to say with confidence whether Celtic 5-kk-is in fact to be viewed as the regular outcome of the Indo-European sequence 5-pk- and whether the presence of this sequence led to the otherwise unexpected appearance of a Celtic short vowel in the preceding syllable.<br \/>\nEric Hamp (pers. comm.) has suggested the possibility that Welsh buwch and Breton buc&#8217;h, which correspond to Irish bo &#8216;cow&#8217;, are relevant to this discussion. Perhaps here too the may be traced back to the final element of a \u2022-pku-compound, in this case containing &#8220;roHu- (thus \u2022\u2022cattle-stock.). One place where one might seek such confirmatory evidence, in addition to the livestock terms discussed here, is among labial-final stems to which a velar suffix has been added (e.g. etyma of the type .CPP-ko-). 1 am not aware of any Critic forms that have been traced to formations of this sort, but such a line of inquiry might prove fruitful.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">DAVID TESTEN<br \/>\nREFERENCES<br \/>\nHAMP, E.
