Reconstruction:Proto-Celtic/welīts
Proto-Celtic edit
Etymology edit
From *weleti (“to see”), from Proto-Indo-European *wel-.
Noun edit
*welīts m[1]
Reconstruction notes edit
An *ī must be reconstructed in the stem to account for the term surfacing in Old Irish as fili, with vowel raising and a final vowel, and not **feil.[1][2]
