devil. The well-known creature from Jewish and Christian theology is sometimes aligned with characters in Celtic narrative; e.g.
Caoránach, the ‘monster’ of
Lough Derg, may be known as the mother of the devil. Aspects of
Donn (1), ruler of the dead, were used in portrayals of the devil in pious Irish folklore. The
earwig, a small centipede, is thought to be a disguise for the devil in Irish folklore. Speakers in Irish folklore conventionally refer to the devil as The Adversary,
An tÁibhirseoir. In most other instances the Celtic languages employ cognates borrowed from Latin, English, and French, e.g. Ir. diabhal; ScG diabhal; Manx jouyl; W diafol, diawl, cythraul; Corn. dyawl; Bret. diaoul.
