Eóganán is a diminutive of Eógan. The Pictish form is not a diminutive; the Gaelic version is simply Eógan. You are correct though that AU gives the form Eóganán - Calgacus 22:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed: I missed your comment. Thanks very much ! Angus McLellan 22:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. I added both. - Calgacus 22:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UE again?

[edit]

Replacing Eogan with Uen, that'll be WP:UE again I suppose. The bad news is that the article has always been misnamed. It should be either two u's or one w: Uuen or Wen, the presumed Pictish version of Eógan. Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:28, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An article titled "Uen" but not about a Uen? The structuring of early medieval Scottish/Pictish history at Wikipedia has some serious kinks that need working out. Can you at least fix this article so that somebody who knows nothing about it at least knows who Uen is? Srnec (talk) 17:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I will, but that's your lot for Christmas. Angus McLellan (Talk) 17:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pictish rulers are a complete disaster. I tried to start a discussion of a few times, the silence was deafening. "Use English" is of little relevance with these guys in any case. They can just be moved by anyone who works out a sensible scheme. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 17:55, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I conducted a straw poll and "Wen son of Onuist" won. I'll do a complete list at Talk:List of Kings of the Picts and open a requested move. Angus McLellan (Talk) —Preceding comment was added at 22:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
