Finally, some food for thought from an extract of Szymon Matusiak’s Olimp polski podług Długosza (“Polish Olympus according to Długosz”):
Earlier, Matusiak also quite correctly:
- notes that the “a” to “e” transformation is common in Polish so that Jesza (Yesha) can become Jasza (Yasha)
- observes that Yesh (Jesz) and Yesha (Jesza) can be also in Polish expressed as Yech (Jech) and Yecha (here you can recall the Germanic Goddess Jecha!)
- combines these names with Chasson/Gasson sive Jassen and translates that into the Polish Jaszon/Jasion (without seemingly being aware (!) that Iasion was a Greek demi-god)
I will leave it at that. If you want to see a Keltomaniac in action, look at the below, clearly wrong entry (why would anyone call anyone a chick for a name? Not to mention that the supposedly Celtic *iaro has never been attested anywhere – it is, in other words, a reconstruction – hence the *).
