For we all in laymen read again, please? Torc = Pork...

are we clear?

Actually, not to make too fine a point...

there's this island thingy, as its not just one but many, that we've all heard of, named after a certain mythic personage, called; what the hell was that name? I think it used to be the habit of these poor alde sods to name their islands after these things, as this is the island of 'so and so', so bu**er off, or they'll strike ya down with boils or somesuch and lots of pain, yea lots o'pain.

And it seems at some point in the distant past these killer whale thingys, used to hang here in the water eating seal, in great numbers (and the occasional unlucky passer-by). So somehow, they kind of picked up the name, like 'santa's little helpers.' Except boys and girls, the cosmology here wasn't about hanging angels on a Yule Tree, sneakin oranges out a Horn of Plenty, or opening a bright-wraped gift xmass-morn. Ohhhh no, not in the sweet little world view I'm referring to; all dressed up in sugar and spice and whatnot.

What the hell was that name???

Right, Orkades/Orcades, or known as the Orkneys today. The old Gaelic name is 'Innis Orc' or 'Orc Island.' Still, the names not Kelt, per se.
