Fenagh Beg in Leitrim County, Ireland represents Boötes. Fenagh Beg again shows that we pay too little attention to the shape of the capstones on dolmens, since these capstones can be carved in the shape of the constellation of stars they represent or the object represented, so also in this case, where the Fenagh Beg capstone is in the shape of Boötes. As a matter of etymology, Fenagh (Fe-NAGH) in Leitrim as equal to Boötes could be related to Arabic NAKKAR "Boötes". Indeed, the Alphonsine Tables have INKA-lunis for Boötes, similar to IONGA below. FENAGH may just mean that the term came from Boötes shape as a "FINGER" based on Indo-European roots, e.g. Gaelic IONGA "nail" and Latvian NAG- "nail", so that you have the Latvian variant compound PIE-NAGA meaning "at the nail" = Finger in this sense, i.e. *PIE-NAGA(R) > FINGER and there is the other Latvian variant *PIE-ROKAS "at the hand" > Latvian PIRKSTS < PIRKS-TAS meaning "finger". This would indicate that the finger was originally divided in conception at the joints - which is logical. You have the nail, the finger part next to the nail, the finger part next to the hand, and then the hand to the wrist, then the arm to the elbow, the elbow to the shoulder, etc., divisions confirmed by ancient measurement units. |
