dotuit
Old Irish edit
Pronunciation edit
Etymology 1 edit
From to- + Proto-Celtic *tudeti, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewd- (“to push, hit”); cognate with Sanskrit तुदति (tudáti), Latin tundō, Gothic 𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌿𐍄𐌰𐌽 (stautan).[1] The final consonant originated in the prototonic ·tuit /ˈtutʲ/ from */ˈtoθuðʲθʲ/, syncopated from *to-tudeti, and later spread to the deuterotonic. The /u/ vowel, on the other hand, originated in the deuterotonic and later spread to the prototonic, as the original prototonic form */ˈtoθuðθʲ/ would normally have become *·túait */ˈtuːa̯tʲ/.[2]
The preterite stem is from to- + Proto-Celtic *kerat (“to fall”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂- (“to break”); cognate with Sanskrit शृणाति (śṛṇā́ti, “to crush”) and Ancient Greek κεραΐζω (keraḯzō, “to ravage, plunder”).[3]
