I've just realised I've never mentioned this before: I am fluent in Irish (A* GCSE when I was 12).
Hubert didn't know this, and I pointed out that the name of the sword 'Fragarach' was a lot like the word for answer, 'freagrach'.
Fragarach, known as The Answerer, was the legendary sword of Manannan mac Lir and later Lugh. Then it was given to Cúchulainn, then to Conn of the Hundred Battles.
Besides, Darylhii's split personality named himself Fragarach because a rock answered him when he asked what his name should be.
I am aware of all this, Hubert.
We can discuss this here. By the way, Cú Chullain has a space. It means 'hound of Cullan'.
