doléici

Old Irish edit

Alternative forms edit

do·léci

Etymology edit

From to- +‎ léicid. The e appearing in the prototonic forms is irregular. The deuterotonic forms in do·f- come from a reinterpretation of the prototonic forms.^[1] Pedersen assigns the forms in do·f- to a separate lemma do·failci from to- + ad- + léicid,^[2] but many of the forms he adduces are actually from do·áilgi (“to soothe, cherish”).

Pronunciation edit

IPA^(key): [doˈl͈ʲeːɡʲi]

Verb edit

to let, allow
