He blessed a well called Slane so that the Tuatha Dé could bathe in when wounded; they became healed and continued fighting. It would heal any wound but Decapitation . He made King Nuada 's silver arm. Dian Cecht's son, Miach , replaced the silver arm with an arm of flesh and blood; Dian Cecht killed him out of professional envy. Dian Cecht's healing powers were invoked in Ireland as late as the 8th Century . ETYMOLOGY
According to this theory, the compound would have developed in Old Irish as ''Diancecht'' before being later re-analysed as two separate words, as in the form ''Dian Cecht''. |
