"abacc" meaning in Old Irish

See abacc in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Usually associated with Middle Welsh afanc (“dwarf; beaver”), from Proto-Celtic *abankos (“beaver, dwarf”), a derivative of *abū (“river”). The meaning "dwarf" also appears in Old Breton abac. However, Proto-Celtic *nk should give Goidelic /ɡ/, not /k/.
