y. "Elf" and _side_ may thus, like the "elf-howe" and the _sid_ or
mound, have a parallel history. See Vigfusson-Powell, _Corpus Poet.
Boreale_, i. 413 f.

[217] Tuan MacCairill (_LU_ 166) calls the Tuatha Dea, "dee ocus andee,"
and gives the meaning as "poets and husbandmen." This phrase, with the
same meaning, is used in "Coir Anmann" (_IT_ iii. 355), but there we
find that it occurred in a pagan formula of blessing--"The blessing of
gods and not-gods be on thee." But the writer goes on to say--"These
were their gods, the magicians, and their non-gods, the husbandmen."
This may refer to the position of priest-kings and magicians as gods.
Rh[^y]s compares Sanskrit _deva_ and _adeva_ (_HL_ 581). Cf. the phrase
in a Welsh poem (Skene, i. 313), "Teulu Oeth et Anoeth," translated by
Rh[^y]s as "Household of Power and Not-Power" (_CFL_ ii. 620), but the
meaning is obscure. See Loth, i. 197.

[219] Cormac, 4. Stokes (_US_ 12) derives Anu from _(p)an_, "to
nourish"; cf. Lat. _panis_.

[220] _Leicester County Folk-lore_, 4. The _Coir Anmann_ says that Anu
was worshipped as a goddess of plenty (_IT_ iii. 289).
