Alan wrote, And by the time the Saxons identified them as "weals" (Welsh), meaning foreigners (to their own Saxon culture), these Celts were calling themselves "Cymry." That term had a specific meaning, perhaps like "the people, as in "people with a comon identity."
Was that just the Celts of Britain who identified themselves as Cymry, or Celts throughout Europe?
(I apologize for not having figured out how to do the pretty block quoting of previous material.)
