S. #iach n. “ford, *crossing” (Category: Across, Athwart)
A word for “ford” implied by the names S. Arossiach “Fords of Aros” (S/121) and S. Brithiach which is apparently “*Gravel Ford” (S/131; UT/54). It might be connected to the root ᴹ√YAK having to do with necks from The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/YAK), and might be an element in ninniach “rainbow” (S/238), perhaps meaning “*watery crossing”.
