In an article in Scottish Gaelic Studies 14 (1986): 138-41 I have studied the outcome in the Gaelic term morair, applied to the Great Steward of the king, of the inherited Indo-European syntagma for *GREAT + RULER. In an earlier note (Études celtiques 21 [1984]: 139) I recognized this same syntagma in the compound attested in Mediaeval Welsh mech deyrn, which must be derived from (pre-) Celtic *maksi-tegernos < *mǝǵ-si+teges-no-. The same syntactic phrase has been renewed in Irish, as ard-rí 'great king, High King', elaborated in ancient Greek as Ἀγα-μέμνων, and was applied to Darius in Old Persian. It is of interest to trace the fate of its Indic counterpart mahārāja on coins of this region.
