Problems here

[edit]

I have a few problems with is page the first one being phonological, the -d- here is (or was rather) intervocalic and there for should be a fricative, /ð/. Secondly -ɨ- here should be a schwa, /ə/, it is a composition vowel and they had been reduced to a /ə/ by this period or disappeared entirely. Thirdly there is no attestation of this name during this period the name is attested much older and there are no modern descendants of the name which means it died out possibly before your ‘Proto-Brittonic’. yet again a massive flaw in your reluctance to separate Brittonic and Neo-Brittonic (which are both attested).
