However, it is actually thought to derive from the PIE root *ak- "sharp", refering to the chisels used to carve the letters into the stone markers, or to the knives used to carve the letters into the wooden staves.
Ogma (or the Gaulic Ogmios) are likely not derived from ogham or ogham from Ogma, but a lucky convergence of the god of eloquence and the act of writing coming together.
If Ogma is derived from *ak-, he is probably not derived from ogham, which was invented after records of the god's worship.
