cràbhadh
See also: crábhadh
Scottish Gaelic edit
Etymology edit
From Old Irish crábud (“piety, devotion, religion”), from Proto-Celtic *krābitus (“devotion, religious practice”), of unknown origin (compare Welsh crefydd from the variant *krābiyos). Pokorny compares Sanskrit श्रम्भते (śrambhate, “to trust”) and constructs a Proto-Indo-European *ḱrebʰ- (“to trust”), but Matasovic calls this "formally extremely difficult" due to the lengthened grade in Celtic.
Noun edit
cràbhadh m (genitive singular cràbhaidh, plural cràbhaidhean)
