Abstract
Collection of miscellaneous studies about prerroman linguistics ítems. The hidronimic name Deva is related to the maternal consideration of waters and fountains, like other celtic roots (*au(a), *am(a), *an(a)) related to terms of kinship. The celtic word *dubri- �water� is recognized en the Durius river name. The toponimc suffix �ed(o/a) would be of prerroman origin. Through the greeks sources the author insists in an iberic oxytone accentual pattern. Finally, toponims like �Cantalobos� wouldn�t be �place where the wolf sings� but differents hypotheses etimological or ideological are proposed.
