Derived terms edit
Old Irish edit
Etymology edit
After Witczak, from Proto-Celtic *eɸros (“boar”), from Proto-Indo-European *(h₁)epros (“boar”), with the n- arising from rebracketing of the demonstrative-final n in accusative *ton eɸron, i.e. overgeneralisation of the nasal mutation.[1] Cognate with Proto-Germanic *eburaz, Latin aper, and (with a prefix) Proto-Slavic *veprь. Witczak rejects Pokorny's derivation from Proto-Celtic *nero- (“hero”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂nḗr (“man, male”).

Usage notes edit
The forms ned and ner are often, but not always, interchangeable. The form ned is more formal and is especially found in compounds of more formal nature, whereas ner is more common as a word on its own. For instance the formal word nedlägga (“to discontinue, shut down”) vs. its informal equivalent lägga ner. Some compounds can use either form, e.g. nedladdning (“download”) (more formal) or nerladdning (less formal). Some compounds only use ned, e.g. nedlåtande (“condescending”).
In a few compounds, the otherwise archaic form neder is used, e.g. nederbörd (“precipitation”) or nedervåning (“ground floor”).

- حق سیلامش باردور اونیڭ سایهسی
چیرفنینشار چولنده نری مایهسی
رنگبهرنگ گل آچار یاشیل یایلاسی
غرق بولمیش ریحانه چولی ترکمنیڭ- Hak sylamyş bardyr onuň saýasy,
Çyrpynşar çölünde neri, maýasy,
Reň-be-reň gül açar ýaşyl ýaýlasy,
Gark bolmuş reýhana çöli türkmeniň. - The Almighty acclaimed this land. His shadow is with us.
A sandstorm in its desert, male camel and female,
Colour upon colour of flowers flourish on the green plains,
The Turkmen desert discoasts in fragrance.
