词源	Celtic words. English words that come to us from Celtic in- clude: bin, crag, curse, the color dun and possibly ass (perhaps a Celtic contraction of the Latin asinus). Whiskey, clan, glen, heather, shillelagh, claymore, slogan, dirk, brogue, wraith, bog, plaid, and bard are Celtic, too, but are modern borrowings from the Irish and Scots. Celtic words also survive in British place names, such as the Avon (“water”), Dover (“black”) and york. See tor.
