ALW. Cymric
name of the god of the Alwani (Alauni, Alani), probably meaning "bright, light." Alaunus
is a Latin form.
... The memory of the God Alw
is preserved by the Triads under the name of Alawn, and by
Nennius (2. 12. Gale) under that of Alaunus, grandfather of
Brutus (i.e. Pryd). In the Triads of the three pillars of the
British nation,—Triphost (? Tuisighin) Cenedl Ynys Prydain—the name
of the Cymric god Hu Gadarn has been fraudulently substituted for
that of Alw. The signification of the name Alw is
still warranted by the Welsh word Alaw (light, music), and the
Gaelic Aluin (bright, beautiful)... (Outlines of the Philosophy
of Universal History, Bunsen, 1854)
