Proto-Celtic edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-Indo-European *ǵn̥h₁yétor, deponent present of *ǵenh₁-.
Verb edit
*ganyetor[1]
- to be born
Inflection edit
The e-grade of the root in the future (instead of the expected zero-grade *-gn-) arose to distinguish the future of this verb and that of *gnināti (“to know”). This behaviour spread to other verbs derived from a root in the form *CeN(H)-.[1]
