Re: Cordinau Orca
Given that domesticated pigs usually dwelt half-wild in the vicinity of the human habitation, and even today readily enough can "go feral" and begin to revert towards their ancestral boar heritage, I wouldn't be so sure the difference between domestic pigs and wild hogs was necessarily regarded as particularly conclusive though...
Just pointing that out.

Re: Cordinau Orca
I think we agree, that on the island, Italy, and France; Orca was a vestigial feminine form of some early IE or non-IE tongue. And its EB use with men of war in the Keltic Balkans seems a bit off base.
