Fagus (god)

Fagus (god)

:"For "Fagus", the genus of trees, see beech."

In Gallo-Roman religion, Fagus was a god known from four inscriptions found in the Hautes-Pyrénées. [Nicole Jufer & Thierry Luginbühl (2001). "Les dieux gaulois : répertoire des noms de divinités celtiques connus par l'épigraphie, les textes antiques et la toponymie." Paris: Editions Errance. ISBN 2-87772-200-7.] The language of this Aquitanian region has been linked to Proto-Basque, rather than to Celtic. [ [http://www.101languages.net/basque/classification.html Basque 101] citing Michelena and Trask.] "Fāgus" is Latin for beech. [Charlton T. Lewis, Charles Short. "A Latin Dictionary."
