If you had read this thread from the beginning, you would know that
the original poster of the question about "n'ha" had mentioned everything
about Marion Zimmer Bradley and her sources in her (I seem to remember
the poster was a female) first posting. She had asked about the possible
source of Bradley's fabrication and had suggested that it seemed Celtic.
