Old Irish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Celtic *audīti (“to grant, bestow”), cognate to Celtiberian auzeti (3sg. pres./subj.) etc. with drastic remodeling of its paradigm.[1]
- The verb became univerbated as a B I simple thematic verb.
- The expected *ó was remodeled to short o after B III verbs like tongaid and as·boind that also appeared in legal contexts. Schumacher presumes that the verb passed through another analogical stage *udeti during this remodeling.
- The root aorist preterite etc. attested in Celtiberian was discarded and replaced with innovatory forms treating the univerbated (a)ud- as a root:
- The preterite stem úad- is from *uwoud-, an innovated reduplicated preterite;
- The future stem ess- is from *i-uts-, with irregular and possibly analogical replacement of the *i with an *e;
- The subjunctive stem *óss- is from an s-subjunctive *autse/o-. Jordán Cólera thinks Celtiberian auzeti is an asigmatic subjunctive, while Schumacher thinks it is a simple thematic present indicative. If Jordán Cólera is correct, the s-subjunctive is another secondary development.
Pedersen's derivation from *Hyewdʰ- (“moving straight”) and relation to Latin iubeo (“I authorize, make legitimate”) is nowadays met with skepticism, with Willi labelling it as "problematic"[2] and the KPV finding it "semantically not plausible".[1]
