In L anguage 4. 28–30, Prof. U. T. Holmes tries to show that some native Celtic word must have had some part in the etymology of caroler ‘to dance a round dance’. He refers to a Welsh coroli ‘to move in a circle’ and to a Welsh corol (or corawl ) ‘circular’. But I doubt whether sufficient authority can be found for either of these words
