Three proposals concerning its etymology have been put forward: It has been associated with a word ‘beard, eyebrow' derived from the Indo-European root *gher-/ghrē- ‘project, stand out', meaning ‘(god) with (long, bushy) hair, beard or eyebrows'. It has been linked to IE *gwher- ‘warm, hot' and alternatively explained as ‘sun (god)', ‘(god of) thermal wells' and the like. This is of further interest as it would be one of the few instances of initial *gwh- known at present in Continental Celtic. Recently, a connection with IE *ĝher- ‘shine, gleam' has been suggested. I shall examine these proposals and contribute some arguments hitherto not taken into consideration, particularly from the field of Celtic archaeology. © Max Niemeyer Verlag GmbH, Tübingen 2003 Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co.
