Any time you see a phrase like "ancient Celtic pagan tree calender", loud warning bells should be going off in your head. There was an Irish tree-name mnemonic for the letters of the Ogham alphabet, but I've never run across anything similar in the Brythonic languages (which means nothing, of course). My guess would be that this "means" whatever the modern author who invented it wants it to "mean", and similarly that it is pronounced however he/she intends it to be pronounced. cynically yours, Heather Rose Jones
