gallout

Breton

Alternative forms

• gellout

Etymology

From Middle Breton galloet, from Proto-Celtic *galnati (“to be able”). Cognate with Cornish gallos, Welsh gallu.

Verb

gallout

1. (auxillary) can/to con, to be able

Usage notes

• This verb can either appear as gallout or as gellout, forms with gall- are more common in the infinitive and past participle and forms with gell- appear mostly in conjugated forms however. This difference is also know in Cornish where the same verb gallos sometimes has a gyll- conjugation. These alternative roots are however normalized in Cornish conjugation, see gallos.
• Gallout can't be conjugated using the auxiliary verb ober like most Breton verbs because it is itself an auxiliary. Thus you have to say ma zi a c'hallan gwerzhañ or me a c'hall gwerzhañ ma zi instead of expected *gallout a ran gwerzhañ ma zi for I can sell my house.
