Irish edit

Pronunciation edit

Etymology 1 edit

From Old Irish .

The present indicative independent affirmative analytic form is from Old Irish at·tá, from Proto-Celtic *ad-tāyeti (compare Welsh taw (there is)), from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- (stand).

Verb edit

(present analytic , future analytic beidh, verbal noun bheith)

  1. (intransitive) be
Usage notes edit
  • Only used with adjective or prepositional phrases as the predicate, never with noun phrases, for which the copular particle is is used instead.
Conjugation edit

Although the present dependent is generally used instead, the present independent affirmative is immune to lenition in most dialects and never would be subject to eclipsis.

Vietnamese edit

Pronunciation edit

Etymology 1 edit

From Proto-Vietic *k-biːrʔ ~ *k-piːrʔ, from Proto-Mon-Khmer *cpiir. Cognate with Muong pỉl, proto-Monic *cmpiir (modern Mon သ္ပဳ (həpɔe, pumpkin)), Riang sᵊpir¹, Khmu [Cuang] hmpiːr ("melon").

This word was originally referred to some kind of native gourd (pumpkins are from the Americas), most likely the wax gourd, now also commonly called bí đao; or maybe it was (and is still) just the word for cucurbits in general.
