Llew Llaw Gyffes : ウィキペディア英語版
Lleu Llaw Gyffes
Lleu Llaw Gyffes ((:ˈɬəɨ ˈɬau ˈɡəfes), sometimes misspelled Llew Llaw Gyffes) is a hero of Welsh mythology. He appears most prominently in the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi, the tale of Math fab Mathonwy, which tells the tale of his birth, his marriage, his death, his resurrection and his accession to the throne of Gwynedd. He is a warrior and magician, invariably associated with his uncle Gwydion.
He is widely understood to be the Welsh equivalent of the Irish Lugh and the Gaulish Lugus. It has been suggested that Lleu, like Pryderi, is related to the divine son figure of Mabon ap Modron.〔Tolstoy, Nikolai. ''The Oldest British Prose Literature: The Compilation of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi'', p. 290〕
==Name==

The name Lleu is derived from Proto-Celtic
*''Lugus'', the exact meaning (and etymology) of which is still a matter of scholarly debate.〔Delamarre, Xavier. Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise, Editions Errance, 2003, p. 211〕
For many years the name
*Lugus was thought to have been derived from the Proto-Indo-European root ''
*leuk-'', "light", and thus he was considered a sun god. This etymology has been dismissed〔Schrijver, Peter. ''Studies in British Celtic Historical Phonology,'' p. 348〕 because Proto-Indo-European
*''k'' did not under any known circumstances become
*''g''- in Proto-Celtic, but remained
*''k''. The direct descendent of the Proto-Indo-European root
*''leuk-'' (‘white light’) in Proto-Celtic is
*''leuk-'' as in the name of the Celtic lightning god Leucetios.
Proto-Celtic ''
*Lugus'' may be related to the root of the Proto-Celtic ''
*lug-rā'' ‘moon’ (the origin of Welsh ''lloer,'' though Peter Schrijver suggests an alternative etymology for ''lloer,'' from Common Celtic
*lus-rā, where the root would be cognate with that of Latin ''luridus'' (''
*lus-idus''
) "pale yellow"). Another possibility is Proto-Indo-European ''
*leug-'' meaning ''blackness, dimness, darkness'' (thought by Pokorny to be the root of the ill-attested Gaulish word ''lugos'' ‘raven’), or ''
*leug-'' ‘swamp, peat-bog’. Proto-Celtic ''
*Lugus'' may equally be related to Proto-Celtic ''
*lug-'' meaning "oath, pledging, assurance" on the one hand and "deceive" on the other (derived from Proto-Indo-European
*''leugh-'' ‘avowal, deception’). Juliette Wood interprets his name as deriving from Proto-Celtic
*lug-, ''oath'', which would support this identification of Mercury as a god of contracts.
The name may also be related to Old Irish ''lug'' "lynx", perhaps indicating the existence of a Proto-Celtic root that denoted an animal with "shining eyes", from PIE ''
*leuk-'' "to shine" (compare Greek lunx "lynx", perhaps from a zero-grade form ''
*luk-'' with infixed nasal).
Another possibility is that
*Lugus is related to Latin ''lugubris'' "mournful, pertaining to mourning," from ''lugere'' "to mourn," from a Proto-Indo-European base ''
*leug-'' "to break" (cf. Greek ''lygros'' "mournful, sad," Sanskrit ''rujati'' "breaks, torments," Lettish ''lauzit'' "to break the heart")
