Editing Cethlenn (section)

=== Prognostication ===
In the early modern Romance ''Oidheadh Chloinne Tuireann'' (OCT), Balor's wife ('''Céithlionn''' or '''Ceithlinn''') identifies Lug as their grandson, and proclaims that once he comes into Erin, the days that they the Fomorians will remain in power are at an end.{{sfnp|O'Curry|1863|p=166–167}}<ref name=okearney-feis-tighe-chonain/>

Arthur C. L. Brown remarks on this prediction that comes true in the form of Balor's destruction by Lugh,<ref name=brown-sirperceval5/> but prefers not to make connection to the ancient version of the ''[[Cath Maige Tuired]]'' in which Lug uses a sling stone as the lethal weapon,<ref>{{harvp|Stokes|1891|pp=100–101}}, ''CMT'' §135.</ref> but rather to a folktale version in which Lugh uses a spear crafted by a particular swordsmith named Gavnin Gow.<ref name=curtin-p296-connemara/>
