Aint got no Arthur?

It is charcteristic of Indo-european languages that many words with gn
or 'g (something) n' or 'g (something) r' are related in their
meanings deriving from some common meaning related to knowledge and/as
creation - examples being gnosis, knowledge (the g has changed to k)
genesis , genetic, generation, and so on. In Gaelic there also exists
the practice where words beginning gn are pronounced gr (as its easier
to say - and this probably explains the link between the above gn
words sometimes applying to gr sounds too)

Thats the theory here is the denouement: In gaelic a word meaning
system or order (such as a system of laws and so on) is gneitheil -
pronounced 'grail'. With reference to the above mentioned etymology
group - gnosis in particular - any views?

But how was it pronounced in the 12th century? And how were its cognates
(if they existed) pronounced in 12th-century Welsh and Breton?
