1 aoigh
Iguest, Irish aoidhe, pl. aoidheadha, Old Irish óegi, pl. óegid, *(p)oig-it; cf. the Teutonic *faig-iþ;-, whence Norse feigr, doomed to die, Anglo-Saxon fáege, doomed, English fey (Schräder). Stokes gives the Celtic as (p)oik-it, poik, whence English foe (cf. Latin hostis, hospes); but the Gaelic gh of aoigh is against this otherwise satisfactory derivation. As against Schräder's etymology, might be put a reference to the form found in Greek $$Goi$$'/homai, go, Lithuanian eigà, going, gurther root ei, go; the idea being "journey-taker". Commonly misspelt aoidh.IIpleasant countenance, Irish aoibh. -
2 ball
I IIa spot, Irish, Middle Irish ball, white-spotted on forehead (of a horse), Breton bal (do.). The Gaelic suggests a stem bal-no-, Celtic root bal, white, Greek $$G falós, shining, fálaros (phala$$-ros), white-spotted (of animals); Indo-European bhe$$-l: bhale, shine; whence English bale-fire. Stokes says the Irish ball seems allied to the Romance balla, a ball, English bale and ball(?). Hence ballach, spotted. Welsh bal, spotted on forehead.IIIa ball; from English -

5 samhuinn
Hallow-tide, Irish samhain, Early Irish samuin, samain, samfhuin: usually regarded as for *sam-fuin, "summer-end", from sam, summer, and fuin, end, sunset, fuinim, I end, *vo-nesô, root nes, as in còmhnuidh, q.v. (Stokes). For fuin, Kluge suggests *wen, suffer (Gothic winnan, suffer); Zimmer favours Sanskrit van, hurt (English wound); and Ascoli analyses it into fo-in-. Dr Stokes, however, takes samain from the root som, same (English same, Greek $$Go$$`mós, like, Latin simul, whence English assemble; See samhuil), and makes *samani- mean "assembly" - the gathering at Tara on 1st November, while Cét-shamain, our Céitein, was the "first feast", held on 1st May. -
