Usage notesEdit

  • The genitive plural ēsa (attested in ēsa gescot “the shot of the ēse”) and names such as Esegar display i-mutation, despite being a u-stem. This is likely a fossilization from how u-stems were declined in Proto-Germanic, due to the word’s archaic meaning, rather than its active usage.

Old IrishEdit

Alternative formsEdit

  • as, es, is (aberrant Würzburg forms)

EtymologyEdit

Hamp derives this from Proto-Celtic *sonts, plural *sontes (whence ot); ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁sónts.[1] Copular origin explains the use of independent subject pronouns with this conjunction, which otherwise are usually used with the copula is.

A more traditional theory, assumed by Pedersen and Thurneysen among others, supposes that this is a contraction of ocus (“and”), with the apparent copular behaviour being analogical.[2]

ConjunctionEdit

os (third-person plural ot)

  1. disjunctive conjunction

Usage notesEdit

  • The conjunction takes on the form ot when used with the third-person plural pronoun é and os elsewhere.
