conbeir
Old Irish edit
Etymology edit
Verb edit
con·beir (verbal noun compert)
Usage notes edit
- The two senses ("bring/bear together" and "conceive") seem to conjugate differently in the perfect and possibly other augmented forms. For "bring together", a suppletive stem com- + ro- + ·uic appears; while for "conceive, beget", a non-suppletive stem com- + ad- + ·beir occurs instead.
