Talk:Mediolanum

@victar cf. Milan where it says

However, some scholars believe that lanum comes from the Celtic root lan, meaning an enclosure or demarcated territory (source of the Welsh word llan, meaning "a sanctuary or church", ultimately cognate to English/German land) in which Celtic communities used to build shrines.

I'm not saying that's right, just wanted to share where I had gotten that word. I know Wikipedia's onomasts can be a crapshoot sometimes. Proto-Celtic *landā doesn't work for the second element? DJ K-Çel (talk) 05:08, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

@Djkcel: Which scholars? The long -ā- does not fit. --{{victar|talk}} 05:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
