The Parisii, of course, migrated from Yorkshire to Paris.
As the Japanese say "The reverse also has a reverse".....
I didn't realise it was that way round.
Has anyone told Yorkshire UKIP?

So perhaps the Parisi did settle in the conquered areas of France?

Baal aka Cronos or Saturn or Hermes is associated with fire (Hermes was said to have "invented" fire-sticks or kindling). Beacons for various purposes such as summoning Aberfeldy's hunting groups, navigational aids and warning ships are tended by hermits, servants of Hermes [in 'don' places which presumably accounts for the erroneous association between Denis/dinas and 'Celtic hillforts'].
Crows are, perhaps uniquely for non-domesticated animals, unafraid of fire. Sea-crows i.e. cormorants have no fear of fire since they are trained to co-operate with night-time fishermen who use burning poles.
