Abstract

In this paper the author discusses the criteria for attributing certain names to Celtic, or other poorly attested, or reconstructed, languages. The clear and unambiguous formulation of such criteria help us in the identification of Celtic onomastic elements. These methodological problems are discussed with respect to the examples of allegedly Celtic toponyms and anthroponyms from the Roman province of Illyricum.
