Old Irish edit
Etymology edit
From Proto-Celtic *bragyeti, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreh₂g- (“to smell”).[1]
Verb edit
braigid (verbal noun broimm)
Inflection edit
Being a hapax legomenon, the inflection of this verb is not directly attested and can only be inferred from descendants and etymology. The St. Gall Priscian Glosses database tentatively classifies this verb as A II;[2] however the reduplicated perfect form ro·bebraig attested in a Middle Irish section of the Book of Fermoy virtually guarantees that this verb was in fact a strong verb. Matasović's etymology assumes that the verb is B II.
Simple, class B II present, reduplicated preterite
