acroyearyeah, most of our language is either Latin or German in origin, but there are a few terms of Celtic beginnings...
Boat in scots-gaelic is Seallaibh, that is, "Sail"
Captain in scots-gaelic is sgiobair, that is, "skipper"
and like Latin, the Celtic languages also gendered boat/ship as a "she".
