The History Files: Vasates
#Vasates: with so many variants of its name, breaking down a meaning can be long-winded (even with the #Basavocates being handled separately), with the core name appearing to be heavily altered or influenced by slang.

The History Files: Sucasses
#Sucasses: they were not mentioned again in the historical record after #Pliny's first century AD entry on them, suggesting that they were later incorporated into a major tribe, probably the #Tarusates.

Onesii: definitely not the #onesies, #Pliny stated that this tribe lived in the #Pyrenees - not entirely surprisingly, given their location in #Aquitania.

The History Files: Sotiates
#Sotiates: uncertainty about the tribe's name suggests it was both #Aquitani and #Celtic, with the former as the general population and the latter as a warrior elite which had relatively recently taken control there.

The History Files: Lactorates
#Lactorates: this was one of the nine tribes of #Aquitaine which were formed into the #Novempopulania well into the #Roman period but, despite claims of them being #Aquitani, their name is a very easy #Celtic one to break down.

Oscidates: by the middle of the first century BC, the Oscidates were a minor tribe - or perhaps two - which was located amongst the #Aquitani, on the northern side of the central #Pyrenees and south of the #Garonne.

Garumni: a section of scholarly opinion counts them as Aquitani rather than Celts, but the name breakdown clearly shows a Celtic origin and the explanation behind it backs that up.

The History Files: Aquitani
Aquitani: the prevailing language for the #Aquitani, at least until the arrival of the #Romans, was an early form of non #Indo-European #Basque, hence an alternative label for them of proto-Basques.
