I know you have had critics over the years regarding your
reconstruction of ***bric, but I must say that I think it is a very
legitimate and scholarly project. Your remarks om the addition of new
words to all the spoken Celtic languages are absolutely on the mark,
as every language constantly im****ts or creates new words on an almost
daily basis, as reflected by new editions of respected dictionaries
which take great pains to include any new word which, in the opinion
of their compilers, is likely to become a permanent part of the
language.

I cxan think of two or three words in English which were once
considered outrageous slang, and are surprising because of their
complete acceptibility today. For example, "quiz"; "bluff"; and
"headland"; all considered unacceptable in their day. While of course
the plethora of new words for new concepts and technical terms
entering most languages make many dictionaries out of date before they
are even published.

The very word "Internet" alone is already part of most languages,
which have simply taken the English word and made it their own. 

I wish you every success!
