According to L&S this should not be spelled as braccae but rather as bracae. --BiT (talk) 02:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Celticness of briogais

According to this article as of 06/30/08,

Celtic would regularly have *b.r.g instead, as in Scottish Gaelic briogais. The word is well-attested in the Germanic languages (see breeches).

However, according to Alexander MacBain, the word briogais came to Gaelic from English, from either breeks or breeches. Furthermore, an original Celtic /g/ would tend to become <gh> or be dropped in Gaelic (except as a first letter), and /k/ sometimes became /g/. Examples (Labarion / Gaelic):

agedâ / aghaidh
agron / àr
carrecis / carraig
