Is it correct to say that those 3 words are similar, as in Teamur, Teamhrach? Are the meanings "burial place. wall. palace. parliament" connected? Do you know of other connected Gaelic forms, or English senses, of these?
thanks

As tea/gar and tea/ch are "place", then tea/mhra may be "place. isolated eminence". Mhra then seems to correspond with Saxon "maer" etc. as in "maer God", as used in Norse Maere "famous. praise", the name of an ancient temple. So would ancient Eire also have had "Mhra. Mhrach" meaning the praise or fame of kings and their gods? If so, then Norse, Saxons and Celts had similar forms of belief-systems which may relate to the wider IE tradition.
