Old IrishEdit
Etymology 1Edit
Unknown. Thurneysen has tried to derive this term from the contraction of its synonym laithe, itself from Proto-Celtic *latyom, from Proto-Indo-European *leh₁t- (“warm part of the year”), and cognate with Proto-Slavic *lěto n (“summer, year”).[1] Hence, in the original versions of the Dictionary of the Irish Language, lá and laithe were formerly given in the same entry. However, Stifter remains skeptical of this etymology (and believes that the two words are not closely related at all), and eventually the 2019 edition of DIL separated the two terms into separate entries.
Alternative formsEdit
PronunciationEdit
NounEdit
lá n (genitive laí, nominative plural lá or láa or lae)
- day, daylight
- c. 800, Würzburg Glosses on the Pauline Epistles, published in Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus (reprinted 1987, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), edited and with translations by Whitley Stokes and John Strachan, vol. I, pp. 499–712, Wb. 25c6

- (in adverbial phrases) Denoting point in time.
Usage notesEdit
This noun, when used as a temporal reference, only referred to daytime. To refer to an event taking place across the course of a calendar day or more, a matching number of aidchi (“nights”) must be additionally specified. For example, an event occurring over three days would occur over trí láa ocus teora aidchi "three days and three nights" in Old Irish.
