Old Irish edit

Etymology 1 edit

Kortlandt believes this particle to be a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase beginning with *ol est. In particular, he derives the inflected form olsí from a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase *ol est ēgt, with *ēgt deriving from *h₁eǵ- (“to say”). Its ending was reinterpreted as the feminine singular pronoun sí, giving rise to the analogical masculine form olsé.[1]

      “A n-atamm·res-⟨s⟩a,” ol Día.
      “When I shall arise,” says God.
Usage notes edit

This particle is used after or interrupting a quotation, either in an inflected form or followed by the identity of who is speaking.
