O/Ri/ain and others have suggested that all the Molua saints--and
there are many--are actually Lugaid's and that the figure of Lug lurks
behind them.
Don't forget the suffixes used for the same purpose--to create a
term of endearment. Even Jesus was changed to I/suca/n. Also, there were the
doubly modified, for suffixes were combined with prefixes to produce
Mochoemo/c for My little Coemgen (I think) and Mocholm/oc for my little
Colman.
