Across the lands of Scotland we find numerous place names such as Aberdeen, Abermore and Aberdour, all of which possess the prefix 'Aber' whose meaning is that which pours into ( ber ) the waters ( abh ) as in the confluence, the estuary and the mouth of the river.

 

Aber is formed 'abh' a word from the language of the Celts meaning 'water' and this is very much related to 'Ap' a root from the language of Sanskrit meaning 'water' a transformation we already find in 'Ap' meaning 'water' becoming the Persian 'Ab' meaning 'water'.

 

Aber is also formed from the Celtic 'ber' meaning 'to pour into' and this is related to 'bhr' a word from Sanskrit meaning to 'bear' to 'bring' to 'carry' as in that which bears ( ber ) the waters ( abh ) that which brings ( ber ) the waters ( abh ) and that which carries ( ber ) the waters ( abh ).

"The Druids of the ancient Celtic world have a startling kinship with the brahmins of the Hindu religion and were, indeed, a parallel development from their common Indo-European cultural root which began to branch out probably five thousand years ago. It has been only in recent decades that Celtic scholars have begun to reveal the full extent of the parallels and cognates between ancient Celtic society and Vedic culture." Peter Beresford Ellis - Historian and novelist.

 

"The very name Druid is composed of two Celtic word roots which have parallels in Sanskrit, indeed, the root vid for knowledge, which also emerges in the Sanskrit word Veda, demonstrates the similarity. The Celtic root dru which means "immersion" also appears in Sanskrit. So a Druid was one immersed in knowledge." Peter Beresford.

 

"The Sanscrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident; so strong indeed, that no philologer could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists; there is a similar reason, though not quite so forcible, for supposing that both the Gothic and the Celtic, though blended with a very different idiom, had the same origin with the Sanscrit; and the old Persian might be added to the same family." Sir William Jones.
