"wailannā" meaning in Proto-Celtic

See wailannā in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: PIE word *wáy Schrijver explains as "the wailer", from Proto-Indo-European *wai. For a similar formation compare *wailos (“wolf”, literally “wailer, howler”). However the suffix is still uncertain. Ultimately imitative.
