What is the Celtic word for silver?

There isn't one singular Celtic word for "silver" as "Celtic" encompasses a variety of languages.

Here are some examples:

* Irish: *airgead* (pronounced "ar-g'id")

* Scottish Gaelic: *airgiod* (pronounced "ar-g'id")

* Manx: *argid* (pronounced "ar-g'id")

* Welsh: *arian* (pronounced "ar-ee-an")

* Cornish: *arghans* (pronounced "ar-ghans")
