Old Irish edit
Pronunciation edit
Etymology 1 edit
The present stem is from Proto-Celtic *tēgeti, from Proto-Indo-European *stéygʰeti. The origin of the anomalous third-person singular téit is unclear, and multiple explanations exist. Most likely it comes from Proto-Indo-European *tént, the root aorist of *ten- (“to stretch”) (compare Sanskrit अतन् (atan), aorist of Sanskrit तनोति (tanoti)). The regular form would be *téigid.[1][2]
The preterite active stem is from Proto-Celtic *ludet, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ludʰét (“to arrive”) (compare Sanskrit अरुधत् (arudhát), Ancient Greek ἦλθον (êlthon), ἤλυθον (ḗluthon), Tocharian A läc. The preterite passive stem is from Proto-Celtic *itos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁itós, from *h₁ey- (“to go”).
The future stem is from Proto-Celtic *rigāti, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁r̥gʰ-, zero grade of *h₁ergʰ- (“to go, move”) (compare Ancient Greek ἔρχομαι (érkhomai)). The second-person imperatives may be from the full grade of the same root, or they may be from *exs- (“out”) + *regeti (“to stretch”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃reǵ-.
The perfective stem is from dí- + com- + feidid (“to lead”), from Proto-Celtic *wedeti, from Proto-Indo-European *wedʰ-.
