Happy New Year everyone.
Jacques Lacroix interprets Celtic uo- as an intensifying rather than a diminutive prefix.
I can't remember in which one of his "La Gaule des...." trilogy (Errance) , prob. "la Gaule des Combats".
I don't know if this is right, but I quite like "Big Wood" rather than "Underwood/Sousbois" for the uo-caiton names
(Watchet SOM is the example in England)
cheers
