Wailos or wailer is wolf, is that because they “wail” (howl?) Or is that just a coincidence?

    Sorry for being unclear--proto-Celtic calls wolves "wailos" for the same reason as they call gulls "weilanna," because of the noise, yes. The coincidence is that the modern word "wolf" sounds like the proto-Celtic word "wailos."
