1602 Lleu Llaw Gyffes ENT_WEL_LLEU_LLAW_GYFFES reception_of Lugh ENT_CEL_LUGH medium Lleu Llaw Gyffes and Irish Lugh Lámhfhada are both cognates of the Gaulish deity *Lugus; all three share: the "many-skilled" / "long arm" epithet, a divine craftsman who answers every skill at once, spear as primary weapon, a fate/destiny narrative involving their birth and naming, and the defeat of a dark antagonist; Green (1992) pp. 131-132; Mac Cana (1970) pp. 53-57; the Welsh Lleu preserves the more archaic narrative framework (three tyngedau, flower-wife) while the Irish Lugh is more extensively attested Miranda Green, Dictionary of Celtic Myth and Legend SRC_GREEN_CELTIC_GODS reviewed Medieval Welsh PER_CEL_MEDIEVAL_WELSH

1638 Lleu Llaw Gyffes ENT_WEL_LLEU_LLAW_GYFFES reception_of Lugus ENT_CEL_LUGUS medium Lleu Llaw Gyffes (Welsh) and Lugus share the Proto-Celtic *Lugus name and the "long arm / skilled hand" epithet; however the Welsh narrative diverges significantly from the Irish Lugh version, suggesting parallel but independent reception. The Lugus → Lleu chain is mediated through Common Brittonic, not directly from Gaulish; confidence medium. Olmsted (1994) pp. 399-410; Mac Cana (1970) pp. 53-57. Olmsted, Garrett.
