@Angr Is bíad also from this? I would think that Celtic -t- would appear as -th- in Irish. —CodeCat 22:37, 18 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

bíad is attested as a two-syllable word bïad in early poetry, so it seems to be from a variant *biyatom. That also accounts for the /ð/, because /θ/ usually becomes /ð/ at the end of a word after an unstressed vowel. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:36, 19 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
