[a n-], Celtic [esjon] (Stokes gives [esan]=Skr. gem. gen. pl. [âsâm]). , who, that (rel. pron.). In G. this is merely the verbal particle [do] of past time, used also to explain the aspiration of the future rel. sentence. Oblique cases are done by [an], [am] (for [san], [sam], O.Ir. [san], [sam]), the neut. of art. used as rel. (cf. Eng. [that]). The rel. locative is sometimes done by the prep. [an], [am]: "An coire am bi na caoraich" (1776 Collection, p112). , out of, ex: see . , from, in the adverbs , , , ; Ir., O.Ir. [an-], as [anuas], etc.; Celtic [a(p)ona], a derivative from I.E. [apo], whence Lat. [ab], Gr. @G[a@'pó]; Ger. [von], from, is the exact equivalent of the Celtic. The before [sìos] and [suas] is due to analogy with [a nìos], [a nuas]. , in to, as in , , , , , is the prep. , in, into, q.v. , as in , &c., and before verbs, is the prep. , q.v. , the, at; see [an], the, and [ag], at. , or , fie! The Ir. [ab ab], M.Ir. [abb] is an interjection of defiance, [obo], of wonder; cf. Lat. [babæ], Gr. @G[babaí]. Hence doubtless M`A.'s [abab], dirt. , abbot, Ir. [ab], O.Ir. [abb], W. [abad]; from Lat. [abbas], [abbatis], whence also Eng. [abbot]. Hence [abaid], abbey. M.Ir. [apdaine], abbacy, in M.G. "abbey lands", whence placenames Appin, older Abbathania (1310), Abthein (1220), "abbey lands". --page 2 , syllable, utterance; E.Ir. [apad], proclamation: [ad-ba-], Celtic [ba], speak; Lat.

[aber], O.W. [aper], Celtic [ad-bero-], root [ber]; see [beir]. Modern Gaelic pronounces it (so in 17th cent.), which agrees with the O.W. [oper]; this suggests [od-bero-], "out flow", as against the "to flow" of [ad-bero-]. The [od] is for [ud], allied to Eng. [out]. Aporicum: [*ati-boro-n] (Holden). , bold; see [abair] above. , dictionary (Shaw); from [abair], q.v. , talkative, bold; from [abair] q.v. <àbh>, hand net; from Norse [háfr], pock-net. Also , q.v.

[abra], ancilla. , the slackening of a sail, hoisting sail (N.H.); from Norse [hálsa], clew up sail, from [hâls], neck, allied to Lat. [collum]. Eng. [hawser] is also hence. Also . , a cow's stomach, tripe (H.S.D.), , cow's throttle (M`A.); borrowed evidently from a Scandinavian compound of [háls], neck. Cf. [abhsadh] above. , a mangled carcase, Ir.

[epeltu], [atbail], perit, from the same root and prefix; the first of them appears in our Gaelic dictionaries through Shaw. From Gaelic comes Scotch [ablach]. <àbran>, (M`A. and H.S.D.), an oar-patch on a boat's gunwale; see [aparan]. , April, so Ir.; founded on Lat. [Aprilis] (Eng. [April]). The form is due to folk-etymology, which relates it to [braon]. , apostle, Ir. [absdal], O.Ir. [apstal], W. [apostol]; from Lat. [apostolus], whence Eng. [apostle]. , a pain, stitch; [*ád-conti-]; see [urchoid]. , sigh, complaint, E.Ir. [accáine], W. [achwyn]; [ád+caoin]; see [caoin], weep. , anchor, Ir. [ancaire], O.Ir. [ingor]; from N.

[acclaid], fishing, E.Ir. [atclaid], fishes, hunts, pursues: [ad-claidim]; see [claoidh]. , arm-pit, Ir. [ascall], M.Ir. [ochsal], W. [cesail].

[at], W. [het]; from Eng. [hat], N. [hattr]. , , inseparable prefix, in force and origin the same as Lat. [ad].

[hat], [hot], [hut], "to put up grain in the field, a small stack built in the field"; M.E. [hutte], heap. , a haddock; from the English. , adamant, so Ir.; from the English. , , liver, Ir.

This prep. aspirates in Irish, and in Gaelic idioms it still does so, e.g. [air chionn]. (b) =O.Ir. [for], "super", O.W. and O.Br. [guor], Br. [voar], [oar], Gaul. [ver-]; Gr. @G[u@`pér]; Lat. [s-uper]; Eng. [over]. This prep. did not aspirate; it ended originally in [r] in Gaelic; as an inseperable prefix ([vero-], [viro-] in Gaul.) it aspirated, as in the modern form of old names like [Fergus], now [Fearghuis] or [Fear'uis] (gen. case). (c) =O.Ir. [iar n-], after, pre-Celtic [epron]; Skr. [aparám], afterwards, [aparena], after; Got. [afar], after, Eng. [af-ter]. Further come Gr. @G[o@'pi-], behind, [e@'pí-], to, Lat. [ob-], [op-]. See [iar]. --page 10 This is the prep. that is used with the inf. to represent a perfect or past participle in Gaelic - [Tha mi air bualadh]; "I have struck". , honourable; [air+beann]? , distress, so Ir., O.Ir. [aircur], pressure; cf. Lat. [parcus], sparing. <àirc>, the Ark, Ir. [airc]; from Lat. [arca]. , pity, clemency (Hend.): see [oircheas]. , to watch, listen, Ir. [aircill]; see [faircill]. , a cripple; [*airc-lach], from [airc], q.v. <àird>, point (of the compass), Ir. [áird], E.Ir. [aird], Gr. @G[a@'/rdis], a point. Hence Sc. [airt]. <àird>, preparation, activity. <àirde>, height, Ir. [áirde], E.Ir. [arde]; see [árd]. <àirdeil>, ingenious: , heed, Ir., O.Ir. [aire], Old.Brit. [Areanos], native watchers who gave intimation to the Romans (Ammianus), pre-Celtic [parjâ], [par], seek; Gr. @G[peîra], trial; Lat. [ex-perior], Eng. [experiment]. <àireach>, keeper of cattle. There is confusion in Gaelc between [àireach] and O.Ir. [aire(ch)], lord; the [bó-aire], cow-lord, was the free tenant of ancient Ireland. For O.Ir. [aire], see [airidh]. G. [àireach] owes its long vowel to a confusion with [àraich], rear. See [àiridh] for root. <àireamh>, number, so Ir., O.Ir. [áram], W. [eirif], [*ad-rîm-], Celtic [rîmâ], number; Ag.S. [rîm], number, Eng. [rhyme]; Gr. @G[a@'riqmós], number. , ploughman, herdsman; Ir. [oireamh], g. [oiramhan], ploughman, the mythic [Eremon], [Airem(on)], [*arjamon-], Skr.

[Argento-], [Argento-coxus] (a Caledonian prince): Lat. [argentum]; Gr. @G[a@'/rguros]. Eng. [argent] is from the Lat. <àiridh>, better <àirigh>, hill pasture, sheiling (, in Lh. for Gaelic); cf. E.Ir. [airge], [áirge], place where cows are, dairy, herd of cattle; E.Ir. [airgech], herdswoman [of Brigit]; Ir. [airghe], pl. [áiríghe] (O'B.), a herd of cattle; [airgheach], one who has many herds; [*ar-egia]; Lat. [armentum]? But see [àraich], rear. Norse or Danish [erg] from Gaelic equals Norse [setr] (Ork. Sag.). This Norse form proves the identity of Gaelic with E.Ir. [airge]; [airge]=[ar-agio], [*agio], herd. , worthy, Ir. [airigh] (Ulster), [airigh], nobleman (O'B.), O.Ir. [aire(ch)], primas, lard; Skr. [árya], good, a lord; [ârya], Aryan, [âryaka], honourable man. [*parei]? --page 11 , a sleepy person; from ++[aireal], bed, M.Ir. [aired] (O'C.): , leng, Ir. [airligim], O.Ir. [airliciud], lending; from [leig], let, which is allied to Eng. [loan], Got. [leihvan], Ger. [leihen]. See [leig]. , pledge, earnest, arles; from Sc. [arles], older [erles], which, through O. French, comes from Lat. [*arrhula], dim. of [arrha], pledge. Eng. [earnest], whence W. [ernes], is probably from the same origin. See [eàrlas]. , a strait: , hit; see [eirmis]. <àirne>, a sloe, so Ir., M.Ir. [arni], sloes, W. [eirin], plums, Br. [irinenn], sloe, Celtic [arjanio-] (Stokes); Skr. [aran@.i], tinder-stick "premna spinosa", [aran@.ka], forest. <àirneach>, murrain in cattle: , <àirneis> (M`L. & D.), furniture; Ir. [áirneis], cattle, goods, etc., M.Ir. [airnis], tools, furniture. The word can hardly be separated from the Romance [arnese], accotrements, armour, whence Eng. [harness], armour for man or horse. The word is originally of Brittonic origin (Br. [harnez], armour), from [*eisarno-], iron; see [iarunn]. , a pebble, so Ir., E.Ir. [arteini] (pl.), O.Ir. [art]; possibly Gaul. [arto-] ([Arto-briga]), [Artemia], name of a rock. , , weariness: <àis>, milk (Carm.), M.Ir. [as] (O'Dav.). <àis>, wisdom (Carm.), [ais] (O'Cl.) See [cnoc] (Carm.). , back, backwards; so Ir., E.Ir. [aiss], [daraaiss], backwards; Gaelic . The forms [ais], [rithisd] (rìs], [thairis], seem compounds from the root [sta], [sto], stand; cf. [fois], [bhos], [ros]; may be for [ati-sta-], or [ati-sti-]. Ascoli refers [ais] to an unaccented form of [éis], track, which is used after [tar] and [di] ([di a éis], post eum; see [déis]) for "after, [post]", but not for "back", as is [air ais], with verbs of rest or motion. , delivery (obstetrical), E.Ir. [asait], vb. [ad-saiter], is delivered; [*ad-sizd-]; Lat. [si@-do], [assi@-dere], a reduplication of the root [sed], of [suidhe], q.v. From [ad-sem-t], root [sem] as in [taom] (Stokes). , a ferry, Ir. [aiseog] (Fol.): , axle; it seems borrowed from Eng. [axle], Norse [öxull], but the W. [echel], Br. [ahel], [*aksila], makes its native origin possible, despite the absence of the word in Irish. , jollity (Sh., Arms.); see [aisteach]. , rib, Ir., E.Ir. [asna], W. [eisen], [asen], Cor. [asen]; cf. Lat. [assula], splinter, [asser], beam (Stokes). Formerly it was referred to the same origin as Lat. [os], [ossis], bone, Gr. @G[o@'stéon], --page 12 but the root vowel and meaning are both unfavourable to this etymology. , weanling (Argyle); from [ais]? , a request (Sh.), E.Ir. [ascid]; [*ad-skv-], root [seq]., as in [sgeul], q.v. , a ridge of high mountains, Ir. [eiscir], [aisgeir] (Lh. for latter); [*ad-sker-](?), as in Eng. [skerry], G. [sgeir], q.v. Cf. W. [esgair] (Meyer). , restore, so Ir., E.Ir. [assec]; possibly=[*as-ic], "out-bring", [ic]=[enl]; see [thig], come. , , path; see [astar]. , strife; [as-sìth], [as-], privative, and [sìth], q.v. , a vision, dream, so Ir., O.Ir. [aislinge]; possibly [*ex-líng-ia], "a jump out of one-self, ec-stasy", the root being [leng] of [leum], q.v. Nigra suggested the root [sil], or [sell] of [seall], see, q.v.; he divided the word as [as-sil-inge], Stokes as [ad-sell-angia] (Beiträge, Vol. VIII) , rehearsing, tattle, E.Ir. same, O.Ir. [áisndís]l [aisnédim], I relate; ([as-ind-fiad-im], O.Ir. [in-fiadim], I relate); [fiad]=[veid], know; see [innis]; root [vet], Lat. [veto] (Stokes), but this does not account for [í] of O.Ir. [aisndís]. , a diverting fellow, Ir. [aisdeach], witty: , glad, Ir., E.Ir. [ait], O.Ir. [ait], euge! adverbium optantis: <àite>, a place, Ir., E.Ir. [áit]. Possibly Celtic [po@-d-ti], [*panti]? root [po@-d], [ped], Lat. [oppidum], Gr. @G[pédon], ground, Skr. [padám], place; as in [eadh], q.v. Stokes has referred [áit] to the root that appears in Ger. [ort, place, Norse [oddr], O.Eng. [ord], point, Teutonic [uzd-], I.E. [uzdh-]; but this in Gaelic would give [ud] or [od]. <àiteag>, a shy girl, see [faiteach]. , breeze, ray, small portion. In the sense of "ray", cf. Gr. @G[a@'ktís], ray; in the sense of "quantulum", it may be divided as [ad-tel], O.Br. [attal], an equivalent, root [tel], weight, money; see [tuarasdal]. [actualis]? , a people, a tribe (Arms.): , a thaw; [*aith-ta@--m, W. [toddi], melt; Lat. [tabes]; Gr. @G[tc/kw], melt; Eng. [thaw]. The Ir. word is [tionadh] (O.Ir. [tinaid], evanescit), Manx [tennue], the root of which is [ten], Lat. [tener], Eng. [thin]. , "re-"; see [ath-]. , fathom, O.W. [atem], filum; [*(p)etemâ]; Eng. [fathom]; I.E. [pet], extend, Lat. [pateo], etc. , fire-brand, Ir., O.Ir. [aithinne]: [*aith-tén-io-]? Root of [teine]? The root [and], kindle, as in O.Ir. [andud], accendere, --page 13 [adandad], lighting up, is also possible, [*aith-and-io-] being the form in that case. [amhailte] (Glen-moriston). , a reproach, affront, so Ir., O.Ir. [athiss]; [*ati-vid-tu-]; Got. [idveit], Eng. [twit]; root [vid], wit, know. , a disgrace; cf. [leas] in [leas-mhac]. , knowledge, so Ir., O.Ir., [aithgne], W. [adwaen]: [ati-gn-io-] for Ir.; I.E. [gen], [gna@-], [gno@-], to know; Lat. [cognosco]; Gr. @G[gignw/skw]; Eng. [know]. <àithne>, command, Ir., O.Ir. [aithne], depositum, command; [immánim], delego, assign; W. [adne], custody; the root seems to be [a@-n] or [an], judging from verbal forms, though these scarcely agree with the noun forms. See [tiomnadh] further. , repentant, so Ir., O.Ir. [aithrech], Corn. [edreck], repentance, Br. [azrec] (do.), [*ati-(p)reko-], [*ati-(p)rekiâ]; root, [prek], Lat. [precor], Ger. [fragen], ask, etc. Ascoli makes the root [reg], come (see [rach]). , tell so Ir. [*ati-ris], E.Ir. [ris], a story, [*rt-ti], [rat], [re@-t], Ger. [rede], speech, Got. [rathjo], speak, Lat. [ratio]. Cf. O.Ir. [airissim], from [iss]. <àitidh>, damp: , juniper, Ir. [aiteann], O.Ir. [aitenn], W. [aith], [eithin], Cor. [eythinen], O.Br. [ethin] (gl. rusco), [*akto-], I.E. root [ak], sharp, Lat. [acidus], Eng. [acid], [edge], Gr. [a@'/kros], extreme, etc. The nearest words are Lit. [ákstinas], sting, Ch.Sl. [ostinu]. Also . [*at-tenn-], "sharp bush or tree"; from root [at], sharp, E.Ir. [aith], sharp, [*atti-], [atto-]. For [-tenn], see [caorunn]. Cf. Ir. [teine], furze. , a building, Ir. , E.Ir. [aittreb], W. [adref], homewards, Gaul. [Atrebates]; [*ad-treb-], the Celtic root [treb] corresponding to Lat. [tribus], Eng. [thorpe]. <àl>, brood, Ir. [ál], W. [ael], [al]: [*(p)aglo-; cf. Lat. [propâgo], Eng. [propogate]. Hence <àlaire>, brood mare. Ger. [adel], nobility. <àlach>, a brood, set, bank of oars (M`E.): <àlach>, nails: [*a@-l-lach], [a@-l-], from [(p)agl-], Lat. [pa@-lus], stake; root [pag], [pa@-g], fasten, whence Gr. @G[pc/gnumi], Lat. [pango], fix, Eng. [page]. , , see [ealachainn]. <àlainn>, beautiful, Ir. [áluin], O.Ir. [álaind]; [*ad-lainn]; see [loinn]. Stokes prefers referring it to [áil], pleasant, [*pagli-], Eng. [fair], root [pag]. But [ra-laind], pleasant, [*ad-pland] (Holden). , over; see [thall]. , wandering: , noble, M.Ir. [all], [aill], [*al-no-s], root [al], as in Lat. [altus]. , fame (either good or bad), Ir. [alladh], excellency, fame, E.Ir. [allud]; see above.>> --page 14 , fierce, wild, Ir. [allta], O.Ir. [allaid]; possibly from [all-], over, the idea being "foreign, barbarous, fierce";, cf. W. [allaidd] of like meanings, from W. [all], other. See next.>> , a foreigner, foreign, fierce; Ir. [allmharach], foreigner, transmarine; E.Ir. [allmarach]. From [all-], beyond, and [muir], sea, "transmarine" (K.Meyer). , a jerk, suspending, leaning to one side; see [abhsadh]. , a float, great buoy: , cow's throttle (M`A.); see [abhsporag]. , a stream, Ir. [alt], height , (topographically) glen-side or cliff, O.Ir. [alt], shore, cliff, O.W. [allt], cliff, Cor. [als], Br. [aot], shore; all allied to Lat. [altus]. The Gaelic form and meaning are are plssibly of Pictish origin. , mishap, ill-luck (Wh.); mischance: from [all-] and [tapadh]. , alum; from the English. , charity (Hend.), M.Ir. [almsain]. , also (Wh.), ingraft, join closely together: [alp] in tinkers' Ir., a job of work, hill; [ealp]=Sc. [imper], graft. , joint, Ir., E.Ir. [alt], [*(p)alto-s]; root [pel], whence Eng. [fold], Norse, [faldr], Ger. [falz], groove; Gr. [-plásios], doubled, for [plátios]. "air alt"= in order that (Wh.). , a grace (at food), Ir. [altughadh], O.Ir. [attlugud], rendering thanks, [atluchur bude], I give thanks: [*ad-tlukôr], root, tluq; Lit. [tulkas], interpreter; Lat. [loquor] for [tloquor]. , altar, Ir., O.Ir. [altóir], W. [allor], Cor.

[old]. <àm>, time Ir. [am], pl. [amanna], E.Ir. [am], [*ammen-], from [*at-s-men-], root [at], Got , privative prefix; this is the labialised form of [an-], q.v.; and being labialised, it is also aspirated into . The forms before "small" vowels in the subsequent syllable are , . , vulture, so Ir.: , fool, Ir. [amadán]: [am+ment-], "non-minded", Celtic root [ment] ([dearmad], [farmad], etc.), mind; Lat. [mens], [menti-s], Eng. [mind], etc. The shorter root [men] is found in [meanmna]. , mischief; E.Ir. [admillim], I destroy: [ad+mill], q.v. , hindrance: [ad+mall]; q.v. But Norse [hamla], hinder. , swingle-tree; [*ad-mol]; [mol], a beam, especially "a mill shaft", E.Ir. [mol]. Cf. Norse [hamla], oar-loop. , channel, mill lead; E.Ir.

Zimmer considers the Ir. borrowed from Ag. S. [ámber], amphora, Ger. [eimer]; but the Gaelic meaning is distinctly against his theory. A borrowing from Lat. [amphora] is liable to the same objection. , blustering (M`A.): , blustering female; not [amarlaich]. , need (Hend.). Hend. now questions it, [aimbeairt]. , large ember of wood (Glen-moriston). , hitting, O.Ir. [ammus], an aim: [*ad-mes-]; see [eirmis]. , , profane, impure: [*ad-mesc-id-], "mixed"; see [measg]. , raw, Ir. [amh], E.Ir. [om], W. [of]; root [om], [o@-m], whence Gr. @G[w@'mós]; Got.

[amháin], E.Ir. [amáin]; cf. O.Ir. [nammá] (W. [namyn], but?) = [nan-n-má] "ut non sit major" (?). The main root is [má] or [mó], more, with the negative, but the exact explanation is not easy; "no more than"(?). [amháin] =[a-(a[[p]]o)+màin], [*mani]; Gr. @G[mános], spärlich, @G[monos] (St.Z.). , river; better [abhainn], q.v. , vexing; see [aimheil]. , a marsh, or [lòn] (Glen-moriston). , looking, seeing; so Ir., M.Ir. [amarc], [amharc] =[a-(apo)+marc], Ger. [merken], perhaps Lith. [mérkti], wink, blink (St.). Roots [marc], [marg]. , luck, Ir. [amhantur], [abhantur], from Fr. [aventure], Eng. [adventure]. , suspicion, so Ir., O.Ir. [amairess], infidelitas, [am+iress], the latter meaning "faith"; O.Ir. [iress]=[air-ess], and [*ess] is from [*sistâ], standing, root [stâ], stand, reduplicated; cf. Lat. [sisto], etc. The whole word, were it formed at once, would look like [*am-(p)are-sistâ], or [*am-are-sistâ]. , , wild man, beast man; Ir. [amhas], a wild man, madman; E.Ir. [amos], [amsach], a mercenary soldier, servant. Conchobar's [amsaig], or mercenaries, in the E.Ir. saga of Deirdre, appear misunderstood as our [amhusgan], monsters; there is probably a reminiscence of the Norse "bear-sarks". Borrowed from Gaul. Lat. [ambactus] (=[servus], Festus), through [*ambaxus]; Cæsar says of the Gaulish princes: "Circum se [ambactos] clientesque habent". The roots are [ambi-] (see [mu]) and [ag], go lead (see [aghaidh]). Hence many words, as Eng. --page 16 [ambassador], Ger. [amt], official position, etc. Ir.J., 154, 156, has [amhas], in G. force. <àmhghar>, affliction, Ir. [amhgar]; [am-](not) [+gar]; cf. O.Ir. [ingir], tristia, from [gáire], risus. See [gàir], laughter, for root. E.Ir. [so-gar], [do-gar], @G[*hara] (St.). , distress, dismay (Hend.). See [amhluadh]. , fool, boor, silly talker or behaver (Arg.); Ir. [amhlóir], O.Ir. [amlabar], mute; from [am-] (not) and [labair], speak, q.v. Cf. [suilbhir]. , bad beer, taplash: , confusion, distress: , wonderful; [*am-porios] (St.), @G[a@'/peiros]. , song, Ir. [amhrán], [abhrán], M.Ir. [ambrán], Manx, [arrane]; see [òran]. Cf. Ir. [amhra], eulogy, especially in verse; [amhra], famous (Lec. 69). (), Dial , solan goose; from Lat. [anser]? , like, as, Ir. [amhluidh], O.Ir. [amail], [amal], O.W. [amal], W. [mal], Br. [evel]; from a Celtic [samali-], which appears in [samhail], q.v. , a trick, deceit (H.S.D., M`E. <àmhuilt>): Cf. [aith-méla]. <àmhuinn>, oven, Ir. [òigheann]; borrowed from Eng. [oven]. , curled, , a curl, M.Ir. [amlach], from the prep. [ambi-], as in [mu], q.v. , <àmraidh> (M`E.), cupboard, Ir. [amri] (O'B.), W. [almari]; all borrowed from Eng. (Gaelic from Sc. [aumrie]?) [ambry] and M.E. [almarie], from O.Fr. [almarie], from Lat. [armarium], place of tools or arms, from [arma]. , , the, Ir. [an], O.Ir. [in] (mas. and fem.), [a n-] (neut.); a [t-] appears before vowels in the nom. masc. ([an t-athair]), and it is part of the article stem; a Celtic [sendo-s] (m.), [sendâ] (f.), [san] (n.). [Sendo-s] is composed of two pronominal roots, dividing into [sen-do-]; [sen], judging by the neuter [san], is a fixed neuter nom. or acc. from the Celtic root [se] (I.E. [sjo], beside [so-], allied to Ag.S. [se], the, [seó], now [she]. The [-do-] of [sendo-s] has been referred by Thurneysen and Brugmann to the pron. root [to-] (Eng. [tha-t], Gr. @G[tó]); it is suggested that [to-] may have degenerated into [do-] before it was stuck to the fixed form [sen]. [Sen-to-] could not, on any principle otherwise, whether of accentuation or what not, produce the historical forms. It is best to revert to the older etymology, and refer [do-] to the pronominal root appearing in the Latin fixed cases (enclitic) [-dam], [-dem], (qui[-dam], [i-dem], etc.), the Gr. @G[dé], @G[-de] (as in @G[o@`/-de], this), Ch.Sl. [da], he. The difference, then, between Gr. @G[o@`/-de] and Gaelic [sen-do-s] is this: the Gr. inflects --page 17 the first element (@G[o@`]=[so]) and keeps the @G[de] fixed, whereas Gaelic reverses the matter by fixing the [sen] and inflecting the [do-]; otherwise the roots are the same ultimatley, and used for almost similar purposes. , in, Ir.

[a-], [an-], etc. It appears before labials and liquids (save [n]) as , aspirated to ; with consequent "small" vowels, it becomes , , . Before [g], it becomes [ion-], as in [iongantas]. Before [c], [t], [s], the [an-] becomes [eu-] and the [t] and [c] become medials (as in [beud], [breug], [feusag]). See also next word.>> , negative prefix, O.Ir. [an-], sometimes aspirating; G. , disbelief, O.Ir. [ancretem], but [ainfhior], untrue; M.Ir. [ainfhír]. This suggests a Celtic [anas-] for the first, and [ana-] for the second, extensions of the previous [an-]; cognate are Gr. @G[a@'\nis], @G[a@'\neu], without; Ger. [ohne], Got. [inu], without. , , , prefix of excess; Ir. [an-], [ain-], M.Ir. [an-]; Ir. aspirates where possible (not [t], [d], [g]), Gaelic does so rarely. Allied are Gr. @G[a@'na], up, Got. [ana], Eng. [on].

The roots are [en] (see [an]), in, and [do] (see [do]), to. In , the two prepositions [ann] and [an] are used. The form is used before the article and relative; the [-s] properly belongs to the article; [anns an], in the, is for [ann san]. ++, , a church, M.Ir. [annóit], O.Ir. [andoóit], mother-church. Stokes refers it to L.Lat. [antitas], for [antiquitas], "ancient church". In Scottish place-names it appears as [Annet], [Clach na h-Annaid], etc. Cf.

[étach], [*ant-ac-os]; root [pan], as in [anart], q.v. Cf. Lit. [pinti], plait, twine, Ch.Sl. [pe@?ti], wind, Lat [pannus], etc. Strachan cfs. Alb.

[óiph], beauty, appearance, [*aibâ] (Thurneysen), mien, look, Prov. Fr. [aib], good manners. Ascoli refers it to the root of [éibheall] (q.v.), a live coal, the underlying idea being "shining, sheen". This would agree as to the original force with [taitinn], please, [taitneach], pleasant. , pleasant, joyful, so Ir., E.Ir. [áibind], [óibind]. See above word for root.>> , hair-lace, fillet, from root of [aodach]. , guest, Ir. [aoidhe], pl. [aoidheadha], O.Ir. [óegi], pl. [óegid], [*(p)oig-it]; cf. the Teutonic [*faig-iþ-], whence Norse [feigr], doomed to die, Ag.S. [fáege], doomed, Eng. [fey] (Schräder). Stokes gives the Celtic as [(p)oik-it], [poik], whence Eng. [foe] (cf. Lat. [hostis], [hospes]); but the Gaelic [gh] of [aoigh] is against this otherwise satisfactory derivation. As against Schräder's etymology, might be put a reference to the form found in Gr. @G[oi@'/homai], go, Lit. [eigà], going, gurther root [ei], go; the idea being "journey-taker". Commonly misspelt . , pleasant countenance, Ir. [aoibh]. , fast, , Friday, Ir. [aoine], Friday, O.Ir. [oine], fast, Br. [iun]; from Lat. [jejunium], a fast, fast-day, Eng. [jejune].

[*aigrâ], @G[a@'ishos], Got. [aiviski]: [aigh] (St.). Prellwitz gives Gr. and Got. and root. Ascoli refers this word and O.Ir.

[áil], probrum, but this word is probably cognate with Got. [agls], [aglus], difficult, shameful, and may not be allied to [aolach]. , indolence: , ointment: founded on the Eng. [ointment]. Cf. [iarmailt], [armailt]. , incline, Ir. [aomadh], inclining, attracting: , one, Ir. [aon], O.Ir. [óin], [óen], W., Cor., Br. [un]; Lat. [unus] (=[oinos]); Got. [ains], Eng. [one]. , moor, market place, Ir. [aonach], fair, assembly, O.Ir. [óinach], [óenach], fair, [*oin-acos], from [aon], one, the idea being "uniting, re-union". Some have compared the Lat.

[haversack]. , , our, so Ir. and O.Ir. [*(s)aron]; this form may have arisen from unaccented [n@.s-aron] (Jub.), like Got. [uns-ar] ([us] of Eng. and [ar]), Ger. [unser], Eng. [our] (Thurneysen). Stokes refers it to a Celtic [(n)ostron], allied to Lat. [nostrum]. See further at [bhur]. --page 21 , seems; , methinks, Ir. M.Ir. [dar], E.Ir. [indar], [atar], with [la], O.Ir.

It is possible to refer this word to [*ad-reg-], [reg] being the root which appears in [éirich]. <àrachas>, insurance, so Ir., E.Ir.

Stokes says unlikely from Lat. --page 22 , working wool in oil, the oil for working wool. Cf. [aolmann]. <àrmunn>, a hero, Ir. [armann], sn oggivrt, E.Ir.

The [s] of the Gaelic really belongs to the pronoun [sé] or [sì], said he, said she, "ar sé, ar sì". Cf. M.G. "ar san tres ughdar glic" - said the third wise author ([san] being the full art.; now [ars an]. The E.Ir. forms [bar] and [for], inquit, point to the root [sver], say, Eng. [swear], [answer]. Stokes refers it to the root [ver], [verdh], Eng. [word], adducing E.Ir. [fordat], [ordat], [oldat], inquiunt, for the [verdh] root. Thurneysen objects that [ol] or [for] is a preposition, the [-dat] being the verb [ta] on analogy with other forms [indás], [oldáte]. The original is [al], propter, "further" (see "thall"), like Lat. [tum] ("tum ille" - then he), later [or] or [for], and later still [ar] - all prepositions, denoting "further". <àrsaidh>, old, Ir. [ársaidh], O.Ir. [arsid]: [*ar-sta-]; [sta], stand.

[asdar], [astar], E.Ir. [astur]; [*ad-sod-ro-n], root [sod], [sed], go; Gr. @G[o@`dós], way, Ch.Sl. [choditi], go; Eng. [ex-odus]. Stokes (Bez. Beit.@+[21] 1134) now gives its Celtic form as [*adsîtro-], root [sai] of [saothar], toil. <àsuing>, <àsuinn>, <àsuig>, apparatus, weapon; see [asair](?). , swell, Ir. [at], O.Ir.

See [bàn] further. Lat. [facies], face, appearance, may be allied, though the latest authorities connect it with [facio], make. , wares; from the Eng. [wares]. ++, beaver, Ir. [beabhar] (Lh.), Cor.

[begegyr], drone, [*biko-s]; a root [bi-] appears in Eng. [bee], Ag. S. [beó] (=[*bija]), Ger. [biene] (=[*bi-nja]), Lit. [bitis].

W. [bwlch], pass, etc? See [bile]. , broom, Ir. [beallýi] (Lh. [Comp. Voc.]); cf. Br. [balan], M.Br. [balazn], O.Fr. [balain]; also Fr. [balai], older [balain], a broom. This might be referred to the common root [bhel], bloom (prolific as a root, like the corresponding root of [broom], as in W. [balannu], to bud), but the W. for "broom" is [banadl], Cor. [banathel], which M. Ernault has compared with Lat. [genista], broom (root [gen], beget?). Jub. gives Br. as [banadlon] (R.C.@+[18] 106). The Br. might be a metathesis of W. [banadl] (cf. Br. [alan] v. [anail]). It is possible that Gaelic is borrowed from the Pictish; the word does not appear in the Ir. Dictionaries, save in Lh.'s Celt. part, which perhaps proves nothing. , a species of hawk (Sh., O'R.); for [bealbhan], cf. ++, a bit, from [beul], mouth? , May-day, Ir. [béalteine], E.Ir. [beltene], [belltaine], [*belo-te(p)niâ] (Stokes), "bright-fire", where [belo-] is allied to Eng. [bale] ("bale-fire"), Ag.S. [bael], Lit. [baltas], white. The Gaul. god-names [Belenos] and [Belisama] are also hence, and Shakespeare's [Cym-beline]. Two needfires were lighted on Beltane among the Gael, between which they drove their cattle for purification and luck; hence the proverb: "Eadar dà theine Bhealltuinn" - Between two Beltane fires. , wife, so Ir.

[bhi], [bhei], hit; Ch.Sl. [bija], [biti], strike; O.H.G. [bîhal], axe; Gr. @G[fitrós], log. Further is root [bheid], split, Eng. [bite]. Usually [bean] has been referred to I.E. [@ghen], [@ghon], hit, slay; Gr. @G[fen-], slay, @G[epefnon], slew, @G[fónos], slaughter, @G[qeínw], strike; Skr. [han], hit; but [@gh] = G. [b] is doubtful. , top, horn, peak, Ir. [beann], O.Ir. [benn], pinna, W. [ban], height, peak, M.Br. [ban], also [benny], horn, pipe (music), Gaul. [canto-bennicus] mons, "white peak" mount; proto-Gaelic [bennâ]; root [@gen-], [@gn-], as in Eng. [knoll], Sc. [knowe]. In Scotch Gaelic, the oblique form has usurped the place of [beann], save in the gen.pl. , blessing, so Ir., O.Ir. [bendacht], W. [bendith]l from Lat. [bendictio], whence Eng. [benediction]. --page 33 , a skirt, corner, coif, Ir. [beannóg]; from [beann]. , a corn-fan; see . , dog-fish (M`A.); O.Ir. [berach], verutus, from [bior]; cf. Eng. "picked or horned dogfish"; "bone-dog". , judgement (Sh., O'R.); root [bera], [brâ], as in [bràth], q.v. , vervain; from Eng. [vervain], Lat. [verbena]. , a breach, cleft, Ir. [bearna], E.Ir. [berna]; I.E. [bher], cut, bore; Lat. [forare], bore; Gr. @G[fáros], a plough, @G[farw], split; Arm. [beran], mouth; Ch.Sl. [bar], clip; Eng. [bore]. Also [bern], fen in E.Ir. , shear, Ir.

[bert], bundle, birth; Gr. @G[fórtos], burden; root, [bher], in [beir], q.v. Also , engine, loom. It is used in many compounds in the sense of "gear", as in , foot-gear, shoes; , head-gear, helmet, etc. , rich; from [beart]; W. [berth], rich, [berthedd], riches. , life, so Ir. O.Ir. [bethu], g. [bethad], Celtic stem [bitât-], divided into [bi-tât]; see [bith] (i.e. [bi-tu-]) for root. It is usual for philologists to represent the stem of [beatha] as [bivotât], that is [bi-vo-tât-], the [bi-vo-] part being the same as the stem [bivo] of [beò]. While the root [bi] is common to both [beatha] and [beò], the former does not contain [-vo-]; it is the O.Ir. nom. [beothu] ([*bi-tûs]) that has set philologists wrong. Hence G. and Ir. , animal. Ir. [beathadhach], dial. of [beathach]. , a curtesy; from Sc. [beck], curtesy, a dialectic use of Eng. [beck], [beckon]. Hence , bobbing, etc. (M`A.). , grind; a very common form of [meil], q.v. , is; see [bheil]. , corn-poppy; see [mealbhag]. Also . , a muzzle, Ir. [beulmhach], a bridle, bit, [-mhach] for [bach] termination from [bongim], beat; from [beul]. , blubber-lipped, (H.S.D.); from [beul]. The first form suggests a stem [bél-nac-]. Cf. , a prating mouth. Also . , outer coating of birch, rind; also , q.v. , (H.S.D.), a bench; from Sc. [bink]; Eng. [bench]. Cf. Ir. [beinse], W. [mainc], Br. [menk]. , hill, ben; oblique form of [beann] (f.n.), used as a fem.nom., for [beann] sounds masculine beside [ceann], etc. See [beann]. --page 34 , binding of a sheaf of corn, bundle; from Sc. [bindle], a cord of straw or other for binding, Eng. [bundle]; from [bind]. , catch, bring forth, Ir. [beirim], O.Ir. [berim], W. [cymmeryd], to take, accept, Br. [kemeret] (=[com-ber-]); I.E. [bher], whence Lat. [fero], Gr. [férw], Eng. [bear], Skr. [bharami]. , , (Hend.), barm, yeast; from Sc. [barm] (pronounced [berm], Eng. [barm]; Lat. [fermentum]. , plate-rack on dresser (Rob.). , a beast, Ir. [bíast], [péist], O.Ir. [béist], W. [bwystfil]; from Lat. [bestia] (Eng. [beast]). Also . , birch, so Ir., O.Ir. [bethe], W. [bedw], Br. [bezuenn], Celtic [betvâ], Lat. [betula], Fr. [boule]. , a serpent, any wild beast, monster, a huge skate, Ir. [beithir], wild beast, bear, E.Ir. [beithir], G. [bethrach]. In the sense of "bear", the word is, doubtless, borrowed; but there seems a genuine Celtic word [betrix] behind the other meanings, and the [beithir] or [beithir béimneach] is famed in myth. Cf. Lat. [be@-stia], for [bet-tia]? Norse [bera], bear (fem.), [beirfhall], bearskin, Eng. [bear] (Zim. K.B.@+[1] 286). , neat, clean (M`F.): , living, Ir., O.Ir. [beó], W. [byw], Br. [beu], [*bivo-s]; Lat.

[beer]). , ashes with hot embers (M`A.); from [beò] + [luathach], "live-ashes". Another , lively youth, hero, stands for [beò-lach]; for [-lach], see [òglach]. , anything, mangled: , roar, Ir. [béic], O.Ir. [béccim], W. [beichio], [baich], [*beikkiô]; Cor. [begy], Br. [begiat], squeal, [baeguel], bleat, [*baikiô] (Stokes). The difficulty of the vowels as between G. and W. ([é] should give [wy]) suggests comparison with [creuchd], W. [craith], [*crempt-] (Strachan). Thus [beuc], [baich] suggests [benk-ko-], further [gn@.k-ko-], root [@gem], Lat. [gemo], etc. The same result can be derived from the root [geng-] of [geum], q.v. , mischief, hurt, Ir. [béad], E.Ir. [bét], [*bento-n]; allied to Eng. [bane]. , mouth, so Ir., O.Ir. [bél], [*bet-lo-], I.E. [@get-], whence Eng. [quoth], Got. [qithan]. The idea is the "speaker". Some connect W. [gwefl] (=[vo-bel]), but this is probably [*vo-byl], [byl], edge (Ernault). , front, E.Ir. [ar-bélaib], O.Ir. [bélib]; dat.pl. of [beul]; also mixed with this is the O.Ir. acc.pl. [béulu]. --page 35 , a stroke, cut, taunt, Ir. and O.Ir. [béim], nom.pl. [bémen], blow, from the root [beng], [bong], which appears in [buain]; cf. [ceum] from [ceng-men], [leum] from [leng-men]. This agrees with Cor. [bom], blow. Some suggest [beid-men] or [beids-men], root [bheid], Eng. [bite], which suits G. best as to meaning.

[bheidh], Gr. @G[peiqw], persuade, Lat. [fides], English [faith]. Others derive it from [bhend], bind, giving [bhend-tu-] as the oldest stem. Windisch suggests connection with Got.

Gr. @G[dérma], skin, from [der], split, Eng. [tear]. Cf., for root, [bean], hit. , niggardly; from [biast]. In some parts [biast] is applied to a niggardly person. H.S.D. refers it to [biadh]+[sgathach], catching at morsels. , a beast, worthless person; see [béist]. The word , abuse, is a metaphoric use of [biast]. , a raven (Sh.); cf.

See next also.>> , sentence, verdict; [*bendi-], [*benni-]; cf. E.Ir. [atboind], proclaims, [*bonnô], I ban. Cf. Skr. [bhan], speak, Eng. [ban].

The dictionaries and old glossaries (Cormac, etc.) give [bir], [bior], as water or well. , dainty, spruce (Sh.); for [bior-ar], from [bior], "sharp"? , prattling, so Ir. (Lh. O'B.); from [bil], lip. , symmetrical (Carm.): Sc [bien]. , stake, spit, Ir. [bior], O.Ir. [bir], W. [bêr], Cor., Br. [ber], Celtic [beru-]; Lat. [veru]; Gr. @G[barúes], trees (Hes.); Lit.

[bear]. The Sc. [bierling], [birlinn] is from the Gaelic. Cf. [feòirlig]=[fjórðungr]. , stir up; from [bior], goad. , luck; see [piseach]. , the world, existence, Ir., O.Ir. [bith], W. [byd], Br. [bed], Gaul. [bitu-], [*bitu-s]; root [bi], [bei], live, I.E. [@gei], [@gi], whence Lat. [vivo], Eng. [be], etc. Hence [beatha], [beò], [biadh], q.v. , being (inf. of [bì], be), Ir., E.Ir. [beith], O.Ir. [buith]. The O.Ir. is from the root [bhu] (Eng. [be], Lat. [fui]) = [*buti-s], Gr. @G[fúsis]. The forms [bith] and [beith], if derived from [bhu], have been influenced by [bith], world, existence; but it is possible that they are of the same root [@gi] as [bith]. Stokes, in his treatise on the [Neo-Celtic Verb Substantive], takes [bith] and [beith] from the root [ga], go, Gr. [básis] (Eng. [base]), a root to which he still refers the O.Ir. aorist [bá], fui (see [bu]). , resin, gum, birdlime, Ir. [bigh], O.Ir. [bí], pix, adj. [bíde], [*geis-], a longer form of [gis-], the root of [giuthas], fir (Schräder). Otherwise we must regard it as borrowed from Lat. [pix], [picis], whence W. [pyg], Eng. [pitch], against which [b] and [í] ([i] long) militate. , quiet (Arm.): , prefix denoting "ever", Ir., O.Ir. [bith-], W. [byth-]; from [bith], world. , difficult utterance: , foe, Ir.

It is of onomatopetic origin. Cf. Eng. [babble]. , a wide mouth, a flatterer, Ir. [bladaire], flatterer; from the Eng. [blatterer], bletherer, blusterer, [blatter], prate; from Lat. [blaterare], prate. Also a wide mouth (M`F.). , fame, Ir. [bládh], E.Ir. [blad]; root [blad-], [blat-], speak, as in Lat. [blatero], babble, Norse [blaðr], nonsense, Sc. [blether]. See [bladair]. Cf.

See next word.>> , having a white face, or white spot on the face (of an animal); [bla@-ro-s], root [bla@-], from I.E. [bhale], shine, [bha@-]; Gr. @G[falorós] (second @G[a] long), having a white patch (on the head, as on a dog's head). Cf. Dutch [blaar], a white spot on the forehead (Whence Fr. [blaireau], badger), M.Dutch [blaer], bald. See for roots [bealltuinn], [bàn]. Welsh has [blawr], grey, iron-grey, which seems allied. This word enters largely into Pictish topography. It is not so used in Argyle (M`K.) nor in Ireland. , taste, Ir. [blas], O.Ir. [mlas], W. [blâs], Br. [blas], [*mlasto-]; Czech [mlasti], lick, be sweet-toothed, Russ. [molsati@u], suck (Bezzenberger). Ultimately the root seems to be [mel], as in [meli-], honey, G. [mil], and even [meil], grind. Hence Fr. [blasé]? , blaspheme (Hend.). See . , bloom, blossom, Ir., E.Ir. [blàth], W. [blawd], [blodau], Cor. [blodon], M.Br. [bleuzenn], [*blâto-n]; I.E. root [blela]: [bhlo], blossom forth; Lat. [flo@-s], flower; Eng. [bloom], etc. --page 40 , warm, kind, Ir., E.Ir. [bláith], soft, smooth, [mláith], [*mlâti]; root [mela], [mlâ], to grind. The original idea is "ground soft". Cf. W. [blawd], meal. , buttermilk, Ir., M.Ir. [bláthach]; [bla@--tac-], root [mel], [mlâ], as in [blàth]. The idea is "pounded, soured". Cf. [braich], from [mrac-], "soured", and Eng. [malt], "soured", from [melt]. Hence Sc. [bladach]. , a soothing, flattering fellow, Ir. [bleachdaire], flatterer, cow-milker; a metaphoric use of the last word>>, "cow-milker", from [bliochd], milk, q.v. , milk (vb.), Ir. [blighim]; see [bleoghainn]. , a dibble for digging up shell-fish, a worthless tool; , impertinence, solicitation, Ir. [bleid], cajolery, impertinence.

[bleithim], E.Ir. [bleith], inf. to O.Ir. [melim], I grind, W. [malu], Br. [malaff]; root [mel], grind, Lat. [molo], Eng. [meal], etc. , milking, E.Ir. [blegon], inf. to [bligim], [mligim]; Lat.

[melen], for [mleen], [*mlakno-]; Gr. @G[malakós], soft (Strachan, Stokes). The meaning, if not the phonetics, is not quite satisfactory. , lean, insipid, , lean flesh; cf. W. [blin], tired, O.Br. [blinion], inertes. These may be referred to [*@gleghno-], Lit. [glez@?nus], tender, weak, Gr. @G[blchrós], languid. See, however, the derivation suggested for [blian], above. For the Brittonic words, Stokes has suggested the stem [blêno-]; Skr. [glána], tired. , milk; see [bleagh]. , yellow marsh, asphodel, Ir. [bliochan]; from [*blioch] = [*melgos-], milk. For phonetics, cf. [teach], from [tegos-]. , milk, Ir. [bleachd], E.Ir. [blicht], W. [blith], [*ml@.ctu-], root [melg], milk. See [bleoghainn]. , basking (Islands): "softening"? See [blian]. , artichoke (Sh., O'B., O'R.), Ir. [bliosán]: [*blig-s-a@-n-], "milk-curdler"? Its florets were used for curdling. --page 41 , blubber-lipped (Sh.); from Eng.

[bug], [bugbear], [bogie]; the relationship is not clear (Murray). For Gadelic a stem [bukko-], from [bug-ko-], would do, allied possibly to Norse [púki], a Puck, Ag.S. [puca], larbula. [boc-sithe], apparition, ghost (Perth: Wh.). , proud, nimble; cf. the interjection ++, Ir. [boch], heyday! "O festum diem". , swelling, the sea (Carm.), [boch-thonn] (H.S.D.): --page 42 , poor, so Ir., O.Ir. [bocht]; [*bog-to-], a participle from the vb.

[bréit], [*brenti-], roots [brent], [brat]; Skr. [granth], tie, knot, [grathnâti]; Ger. [kranz], garland, Eng. [crants] (Rhys). The Skr. being allied to Gr. @G[grónqos], fist, seems against this derivation (Stokes), not to mention the difficulty of Gr. @G[q] and Skr. [th] corresponding to Celtic [t].

[brynja], coat of mail, M.Eng. [brynie], Sc. [byrnie]: a satisfactory enough derivation, and ultimatley from the same root as the first one given above (I.E. [bhru]).

Shaw gives further the meanings "plank, ship, fusec ([cairb a' ghunna]) (Rob), chariot"; Ir. [corb], coach. The word is the primary stem from which [carbad], chariot, springs; see [carbad]. As "fusee" or "fisil", i.e., "musket", it seems a curtailed form of [cairbinn]. , a carcase, carrion; also (Dial.); allied to [corpus]? , carriage, tenants' rent service; from M.Eng.

The are all from Lat. [charta], paper. E.Ir. [cairt] meant "parchment". , cleanse, Ir. [cartaighim], E.Ir. [cartaim], W. [carthu], purge, [kar-to-]. The root idea is a "clearing out"; the root [ker], [kar], separate, is allied to [sker] in [ascart], and especially in [sgar]. , a quarter; from Late Lat. [quartellus], Norse [kvartill], Lat. [quartus], fourth. , , foot gear (shoes or boots), Ir. [coisbheart]; from [cas]+[bheart], q.v. , listen, Ir. [coisteacht], listening, E.Ir. [coistim], O.Ir.

[cosair chró], bed of blood - to denote a violent death, E.Ir. [cosair], bed. the expression appears in the Ossianic Ballads, and folk-etymology is responsible for making G. [casair] into [caisil], bulwark. The word [cosair] has been explained as [co-ster-], root [ster], strew, Lat. [sternere], Eng. [strew]. , a ford, footpath; from [cas-lach], rather than [cas-slighe], foot-way. , stir up, , shaking up, etc.; from [cas], sudden. , an alarm (of battle), signal, march tune. The corresponding Ir. is [caismirt], alarm, battle, M.Ir. [caismert], E.Ir. [cosmert]. , consecrate; see [coisrig]. , a castle, M.Ir. [castél], E.Ir. [castíall]; from Lat. [castellum], whence Eng.

For the first sense, cf. W. [cat], a piece, Sc. [cat], a rag. In Irish Lat. the trout was called [catus] (Giraldus). , scraped linen, applied for the stoppage of wounds (M`F.); from Sc. [caddis], lint for wounds, M.Eng. [cadas], [caddis], cotton wool, floss silk for padding, from O.Fr. [cadas]. See G. [catas]. [caiteas] = sawdust, scrapings (M`D.). , nap of cloth, shag, Ir. [caitín], catkin of the osier, little cat. The Eng. words [caddis], [catkin], and [cotton] seem to be mixed up as the basis of the G. and Ir. words. Cf. W. [ceden], shaggy hair. , spend, cast, Ir., O.Ir. [caithim], [*katjô], I consume, castaway; Skr. [çâtayati], sever, cast down, destroy, [çât-ana], causing to fall, wearing out, root [çat]. Allied to the root of [cath], war. , just, right, Ir. [caithear] (Lh.), [caithfidh], it behoves, M.Ir. [caithfid]; from [caith], doubtless (Atk.). , shout of joy, triumph, Ir. [caithréim]; from [cath], battle, and [réim], a shout, E.Ir. [rém]. This last word Strachan refers to the root [req] ([*rec-m] or [*rec-s-m]), Ch.Sl. [reka@?], speak, Lith.

[caladh], M.Ir. [calad]. It is usual to correlate this with It. [cala], Fr. [cale], bay, cove (Diez, Thurneysen, Windisch), and Stokes even says the G. and Ir. words are borrowed from a Romance [*calatum], It. [calata], [cala], Fr. [cale], cove. More probably the Celtic root is [qel], [qal], hide, as in Eng. [hollow], M.Eng. [holh], hollow, cave, also Eng. [hole], possibly. the root of [cladh], has also been suggested. , calendar, Ir. [calaindéir]; from M.Eng. [kalendar], through Fr. from Lat. [calendarium], an account-book, from [calendæ], the Calends or first of the month. , a dove; the common form of the literary [columan], q.v. , spinning of wool; seemingly founded on Lat. [colus], distaff. See [cuigeal]. ++, head, pate, bald, so Ir., E.Ir. [calb]; from Lat. [calva], scalp, [calvus], bald. H.S.D. gives as a meaning "promontory", and instances "Aoineadh a' Chailbh Mhuilich", which surely must be the Calf of Mull; and Calf is a common name for --page 67 such subsidiary isles - from Norse [kálfr], Eng. [calf]. Cognate with Lat. [calva], [calvaria] (St. Lec.). , a shoot, osier, twig, Ir. [colbha], plant stalk, sceptre, hazel tree, E.Ir.

[calc'h] (do.), [kalgo-], [*kolgo-]; Gr. @G[kolobós], stunted; Got. [halks], poor; further is Lat. [cellere], hit, [culter], knife; etc. The main root is [qel], [qlâ], hit, break; see [claidheamh], [cladh]. The Caledonian hero [Calgocos] derives his name hence. Hence , direct, "sword-straight" to a place. , loss, Ir. [caill], E.Ir. [coll], W. [coll], Cor. [colled], jactura, M.Br. [coll], [*koldo-]; Eng. [halt], Got. [halts], O.H.G. [halz], lame; root [qel], as above in [calg], q.v. , , tame, (M`A., also Sh., who gives the meaning "active" to the last form); cf. W. [call], wise; from Lat.

[Calends]). , a pillar (M`A.), Ir. [columhan], [colbh]; from Lat. [columna], etc. , , brave, Ir., E.Ir. [calma]. Cf. W. [celf], skill, art, [celfydd], skilled, O.Br. [celmed], efficax. The root [cal] is to be compared with that in Ger. [held], hero, [*haleth] or [*calet]. The I.E. root is [qel], as in Lat. [celsus], high, [columna], column, Eng. [excel]. , dove; see [calaman]. , the pike (Wh.)? , the calf of the leg, so Ir., E.Ir. [calpda], bonus pes (Corm.), [colpa], tibia; from the Norse [kálfi], whence also Eng. [calf]. --page 68 , principal set to interest, Sc. [calpa], dath-duty payable to the landlord, from N. [kaup], stipulation, pay. , hardness on the skin (H.S.D.; in M`D.); from Lat. [callum], [callus]. It is not the obsolete , hard, E.Ir. [calad], W. [caled], O.Br. [calat], [*kaleto-], root [kal], hard; Got [hallus], stone, Norse [helle], [hallr]; Skr. [çilâ], stone. , crooked, one-eyed, Ir. [cam], O.Ir. [camm], W. [cam], Br. [kam], Gaul. [cambo-], root [kemb], wind; Gr. [kómbos], a band, bond; Lit. [kinge@?], door-bar. It has been refered to the root of Gr. @G[skambós], crooked (se [ceum]), and to Lat. [camera], whence Eng. [chamber]. Hence , club, , bay. , hoow above the eye, Ir. [camóg-ara], "the bend of the [ara]", O.Ir. [aire], G. [arach], tempus; Gr. @G[pareiá], cheek. , wry-neck: , quarrelsome disputation (M`D.): , talkative; [*com-ag-ach], root [ag] in [adhan]? , a camel, Ir. [camhall], E.Ir. [camail], W. [camyll]; from Lat. [camelus]. , a hollow plain, Ir. [cabhán] (County [Cavan]); from the Lat. [cavus]. , break of day, twilight, Ir. [camhaoir]; (M`A. [sgamhanaich], "lights"): , a curl: , , a camp, Ir., M.Ir. [campa]; from the Eng. [camp]. , vexation, grief; from Sc. [cummar], Eng. [cumber]. , say, sing, Ir. [canaim], O.Ir. [canim], W. [cana], sing. Br. [kana]; Lat. [cano], sing; Gr. @G[kanázw]; Eng. [hen]. , porpoise, young whale, Ir. [cana] (O'R.), [cána] (O'B.), whelp, pup, M.Ir. [cana] (do.); from Lat. [canis]? , mountain down, cotton Ir. [canach], O.Ir. [canach], lanugo; Gr. @G[knc@nkos], thistle, @G[knekós], yellow; Skr. [ka@-ncanas], golden, a plant; [*qonak-]. Stokes refers it to [*casnaka], Lat. [cânus], white ([*casno-]), Ag.S. [hasu], grey, Eng. [hare]. , language, Ir. [cánamhuin]. Seemingly a long-vowel form of the root [qan], cry. See [cainnt]. , cinnamon; see [caineal]. , a cannon; from the Eng. , a canister; from the Eng. , fret; from Sc. [canker], fret, Eng. [canker]. , trouble, vexation; from Sc. [cangle]. , a can, so Ir., E.Ir. [cann]; from Eng. [can]. , pretty, kind; [*cas-no-], root, [qas], Lat. [ca@-nus], white ([casnus]), Ag.S. [hasu], grey, Eng. [haze]? Or it may be allied to Lat. [candidus], white, Skr. [cand], shine. --page 69 , articulate music, chanting, Ir. [cantaireachd], singing, [cántaire], a singer; from Lat. [cantor], [cano], I sing. , wrangling, grumbling, muttering, Ir. [cannrán]; from [can], say, sing. , grief, weeping (Sh., M`L.), Ir. [cantlamh]: , a clod, a bite, Ir. [caob], clod, M.Ir. [coep], E.Ir. [caip], [cáep], clot, lump, O.Ir. [caebb oo], jecur. , empty (as a nut), blind, so Ir., O.Ir. [caech], W. [coeg], foolish, Cor. [cuic], [*kaiko-s]; Lat. [caecus]; Got. [haihs], one-eyed. , , rage; see [cuthach]. , a streamlet; from [caoth], blind? , change, die, , a change, Ir. [caochluighim], O.Ir. [caoimchláim cóem-chlóim]: [imchloud], [imchlóad], inversio; for [co-imm-clóim]; from [clóim], muto: see [claoidh]. The aspiration of the [mn] of [imb] is unusual, but the history of the word is also unusual, for it actually appears as [claemchlód] in E.Ir. oftener than once, and Ir. [claochlódh], [claochladh]. , St John's wort (Sh.): , wink; apparently from Eng. [cock] (the eye). Cf. Norse [kaga], keek; Sc. [keek]; Shet. [caog], peep slily. , fifty, so Ir., O.Ir. [cóica(t)], [*qenqekont]; Lat. [quinquaginta]; Gr. @G[pentc/konta]. See [cóig]. , lamentation, Ir. [caoi], [caoidh], E.Ir. [cói], [cái], inf. to [cíim], ploro, [*keiô], root [qei], which appears in [caoin], q.v., and in Eng. [whine], [whisper], etc. Bezzenberger suggests [*keipô], and compares Lit. szëptis, grimace, Ch.Sl. [o-sipna@?ti], raucescere. A former derivation of Stokes' is repeated by Rhys ([Manx.Pray.] @+[2], 26): [*qesi], root [qes] as in Lat. [questus]. , a twig or osier for wicker, M.Ir. [cóelach]; from [caol], slender. , a bedfellow (Sh.), Ir. [caoimhthech], E.Ir. [com-aithech], neighbour; see [aitheach]. Also , friend, bedfellow. The latter seems from, or influenced by, [caomh]. , kindness. This word is supposed by folk etymology to be from [caomh], kind, whereas it is really allied to O.Ir. [coibnes], affionitas, [*co-ven-estu-], root [ven] of [fine], q.v. , kind, mild, so Ir., O.Ir. [càin], kind, beautiful [[W. [cain]?]]: [*koini-], root [koi], [kei] of [caomh], q.v. Stokes gives base as [kaini-], and Bezzenberger compares Gr. @G[kaínusqai], excel, Ch.Sl. [sina@?ti], gleam forth. If the base idea were "beauty", Eng. [shine] might be compared. , the exterior surface of cloth, right side, rind, sward; from [caoin], gentle, polished? --page 70 , weep, so Ir., O.Ir. [cóinim], [cáinim], O.W. [cuinhaunt], deflebunt, Br. [couen], [queiniff], [*koiniô]; [qein], [qîn]; Eng. [whine], Norse [hvína], whirr; Gr. @G[kinurós], wailing. See [caoidh]. , dry, make dry (as hay by the sun), , seasoned; from the adj. [caoin]? , a blaze, stream of sparks, a coal, Ir. [caor], E.Ir [cáer], [*kairo], Eng. [hoar] ([*kairo-]), Teut. root [hai] in Norse [heið], atmospheric clearness, O.H.G. [hei], heat, Eng. [heat]; Skr. [kêtus], light. More near are Gr. @G[kíris] (lamp, Hes.), Skr. [kirán@.a], a ray, clear, has been also suggested. , a peat ember. , a plaintive song; also , moaning (H.S.D.). The root word is [caoidh]; possibly [rán], roar, forms the latter part. , a drop of sheep or goats' dung, a drop or globule; cf. Ir. [caoirín], a little berry, little sheep, from [caor], berry, [caora], sheep. The two ideas seem confused in Gaelic. In Argyle, [gaoirnean]; (Arg. [ao] here is northern [ao]). From [skar], [sharn]? , slender, so Ir., O.Ir. [cóil], W., Cor. [cul], O.Br. [culed], macies, [*koilo-]; Lett. [káils], naked; Lat. [caelebs], single? Gr. @G[ko@nilos], hollow? Hence ; , a firth or Kyle. , gut, intesting, Ir. [caolán], E.Ir. [coelán], O.W. [coilion], exta; from [caol]. , tender, kind, so Ir., E.Ir. [coem], O.Ir. [cóim], W. [cu], O.W. [cum], Br. [cuff], [cun], debonnaire, [*koimo-], root [kei], lie; Gr. @G[koimáw], put to rest, @G[ke@nimai], lie; Got. [háims], a village, Ag.S. [hám]. Eng. [home]. The idea is "restful". , bedfellow, friend, Ir. [caomthach], friend; see [caoimheach], and cf. Ir. [caomhaighim], I protect, cherish, from [caomh]. , spare, save, , sparing, Ir. [caoimhnaim], preserve, keep, protect, [caomhaighim], [caomhnuighim], preserve. The last form seems the most original, if we refer the root to O.Ir. [anich], protegit, [aingim], I protect ([a-nak]), root [nak] and [nank], as in [adhlac], [thig], etc. The form [nak] is more particularly allied to Skr. [náçati], reach, Lit. [neszù], draw. The G. verb may have been [*com-anich-]. It is possible to derive it from [caomh] with [caomhuin] as an inf. form which usurped the place of the present stem. , strife, tumult, Ir. [caonnóg], strife, a next of wild bees: [*cais-no-], root [kais], [kai], heat, Eng. [heat], G. [caoir]? , berry of the rowan, a mountain berry, Ir. [caor], O.Ir. [cáer], bacca, W. [cair], berries, [ceirion], berry [*kairâ]. It is seemingly the same word as [caoir], blaze, the idea arising probably from the [red] rowan berries. --page 71 , a sheep, Ir. [caora], g. [caorach], O.Ir. [câer], [*cairax], from [*ka(p)erax], alliet to Lat. [caper], a goat, Gr. @G[kápros], a boar, Eng. [heifer]. Cf. W. [caeriwrch], roebuck. , the rowan tree, Ir. [caorthann], E.Ir. [caerthann], W. [cerddin], Br. [kerzin], [*cairo-tann], from [caor], berry, and [*tann], tree, Br. [tann], oak, Cor. [glas-tannen]. The connection with O.H.G. [tanna], fir, oak, M.H.G. [tan], wood, Ger. [tanne], fir, Eng. [tan], [tanner] (Gr. @G[qámnos], bush?) is doubtful; it would necessitate the idea of borrowing, or that the Celtic word was [dann]. Ogam [Maqui Cairatini], McCaorthainn. Rhys says W. is borrowed from Gadelic (C.F.L. 292). , a capl from the Eng. [cap]. , drunken riotousness (Dial.); from Lat. [*crâpula]. , a horse, mare (more commonly), so Ir., E.Ir. [capall], Br. [caval]; from Lat. [capallus], whence Eng. [cavalry], etc., [caple] (M.Eng. [capil], from Celt.) Norse [kapall], nag, seems borrowed from Gaelic. The W. is [ceffyl], with remarkable vocalisation. [capal-coille]? , turn, twist, Ir. [cor], M.Ir. [cor] (=[cuairt], (O'Cl.)), O.Ir. [curu], gyros, W. [cor-wynt, turbo, M.Br. [coruent], [*kuro-]; Lat. [curvus]; Gr. @G[kurtós], curved. See [cruinn]. , friendly, related to, Ir. [cára(d)], a friend. See [caraid] for the usual root. , condition, usage; from [càirich], mend. , move, stir, Ir. [corruighim], from [corrach], unsteady. The G. confuses this with [car], turn. , a friend, so Ir., O.Ir. [cara], g. [carat], [*karant-]; O.Ir. verb [carim], [caraim], I love, W. [caraf], amo, Br. [quaret], amare, Gaul. [carantus], [Caractacus], etc.; Lat [cârus], dear, Eng. [charity], etc.; Got. [hôrs], meretrix. , a pair, couple, Ir. [córaid], E.Ir. [córait]: , refuse of threshed barley, Ir. [carra], bran; see [carthuinnich]. , catechism; from Sc. [carritch], a corruption of [catechise]. , contest, confusion (Arm. M`F.): from [car] and [measg]? , beside; see [caruibh]. , , condition, treatment: , compulsory labour, , , which last see. , a chariot, so Ir., O.Ir. [carpat], W. [cerbyd], O.Br. [cerpit], Gaul. [carpentoracte], [Carbantia], [*karbanto-]; Lat. [corbis], a basket; Norse [hrip], pannier for peats on horse-back. Lat. [carpentum] (Eng. [carpenter], etc.), seems borrowed from Gaulish. The root idea is "wicker", referring to the basket character of the body of these chariots. --page 72 , jaw, jaw-bone, so Ir., W. [car yr ên] (car of the mouth), Br. [karvan]. The idea is "mouth chariot", from the resemblance between the lower jaw and the old wicker chariots. Loth cfs. W.

[carr], rock, see [carraig]. --page 73 , a frog-fish, called "cobler", Ir. [carrachán], the rock fish called cobler (Coneys). From [carr], a rock. Also the word means "the wild liquorice root" - [carra-meille], q.v. , a pillar stone, Ir. [carrthadh], [cartha], E.Ir. [corthe]. The root, despite the vocalic difficulty caused by the E.Ir. form, is likely the same as in [carraig]; yet cf. [kor] of [cuir], set. , conflict; from the root [kars] in [càrr], "rough-work"? , rock, so Ir., O.Ir. [carric], W. [careg], O.W. [carrecc], Br.

[casula]. , a complaint, accusation, Ir. [casoid], O.Ir. [cossóit]. The word is a compound, beginning with [con], and seemingly of the same origin as [faosaid], q.v. Stokes thinks that the word is borrowed from the Lat. [causatio]; this is not likely, however. Root [sen], W. [cynhenn], quarrel. , sea drift, Ir. [casair], a shower, E.Ir. [casair], hail, W. [cesair] (do.), Br. [kazerc'h] (do.), [*kassri-], [*kad-tri-]; from root [cad] as in Lat. [cado], fall. The Ir. and G. (?) [casáir], phosphorescence, seems to be the same word. , a path, Ir.

[cathedra], whence also, through Gr., Eng. [chair]. , a wild goose with black bill (Heb.); see [cadhan]. , a web (M`D.): , mossy ground; see [càir]. , a corn (Sh.; not in H.S.D.); formed on Lat. [callum]. See [calum]. , cudwort; see [cadhluibh]. , , cream, M.Ir. [ceó], milk; cf. Br. [koavenn], which suggests a form [keivo-] (cf. [glé] from [gleivo-]), root [kei], [skei], shade, cover, as in Gr. @G[skiá], shadow, Ger. [schemen (do.)? The Br. [koavenn] has been refered to [*co+hufen], W. [hufen], cream. Cf. [ceò], mist, "covering". , the earth, used only in the phrase , the (round) earth, Ir., E.Ir. [cé], [for bith ché], on this earth. The [cé] is supposed to be for "this", from the pronomial [kei], Gr. @G[kei@nnos], he, Lat. [ce], [cis], Eng. [he]. The root [kei], go, move (Lat. [cio], Gr. @G[kíw]), has also been suggested. , give? , spouse (Carm.), Ir. [cé]: , , the iron part of a spade or other delving instrument; see [caibe]. , a fine breeze (Heb.): (Carm.), sky, (Prov.)

[celg], [*kelgâ]; Arm. [ke??ch??], hypocrisy. The further root is [qel] of [ceil]. , g. , a church, so Ir., E.Ir. [cell]; from Lat. [cella], a cell, a hermit's cell especially, whence the Gadelic use. Hence , superior of a cell, and the name Mackellar. "A retired spot" (Hend.). , broad-cloth, Ir. [cealtair], clothes, E.Ir. [celtar], [celt], raiment; from [qel], cover, as in [ceil], q.v. , whither, for [c'iona], [c'ionadh]? Cf. Ir. [cá h-ionad]. See [ionadh]. , mild, kind, so Ir.; from [*cen], as in [cion], ++[cean], love, desire. See [cion]. , a tie, binding, so Ir., E.Ir. [cengal], W. [cengl]; from Lat. [cingulum], vb. [cingo], I bind, Eng. [cincture]. , head, so Ir., O.Ir. [cend], [cenn], W., Br. [penn], Gaul, [Penno-], [*qenno]. Perhaps for [qen-no-], root [qen] (labialised), begin, Ch.Sl. [koni], beginning, as in [ceud], first. The difficulty is that the other labialising languages and the Britonic branch otherwise show no trace of labialisation for [qen]. Windisch, followed by Brugmann, suggested a stem [kvindo-], I.E. root [kvi], Skr. [çvi], swell, Gr. @G[Píndos], Pindus Mount; but the root vowel is not [i], even granting the possible labialisation of [kvi], which does not really take place in Greek. Hence , a bottle of hay, , buy (="heading" or reckoning by the head; cf. Dial. , sum up), , head-wind (Hend.), , vaunting (Hend.). , a purchasing, so Ir., E.Ir. [cennaigim], I buy, O.Ir. [cennige], lixa, [caingen], negotium. , rebellion, turbulence, so Ir.; [*ceann+arc]; for root [arc], see [adharc]. For meaning cf. Eng. [head]strong, W. [pen]ffest (do.). --page 77 , commander, chief, Ir. [ceannárd], arrogant, commanding, "high-headed", from [ceann] and [àrd]; M. [kinnoort], Ir. [ceannphort], commander, authority, head post or city: [ceann]+[port]. , , (Cam.), a brindle or horse's head-gear, Ir. [ceannrach]; from [ceann]+[rach]. For [rach] (root [rig]), see [cuibhreach], [àrachas]. , subdue, tame, Ir. [ceannsaighim]; from [ceannas], superiority, "head-ness", from [ceann] and the abst. termination [as]. Similarly [ceannsal], rule. , a block, shoemaker's last, so Ir., E.Ir. [cepp], W. [cyff], Br. [kef]; from Lat. [cippus]. , catch, stop. This word seems borrowed from the Sc. [kep], of like meaning, a bye-form of Eng. [keep]. The Ir. [ceap], bound, bind, stop (?), seems from [ceap] above. ++, a tillage plot, Ir. [ceapach]. This Stokes refers to a Celtic [keppo-], garden, root [kep], [ka@-], Lat. [campus], Gr. @G[ke@npos], garden, Ger. [hube], piece of land. Satisfactory though the meaning be, the derivation is doubtful as involving the preservation of [p], even though flanked by a second [p] (or [-nó], i.e. [kep-nó-], which is still more doubtful). Hence the common place name . , a verse, an impromptu verse, carelessly sung verse, E.Ir. [cepóc], a chorus song: a rare word in Ir., and said to be Sc. Gaelic for Ir. [aidbsi], great chorus. From [ceap], catch? cf. Eng. [catch], a chorus verse. Zimmer suggests that it stands [Ce Póc], "kiss here", (?) sung by the girls as a refrain at gatherings! , bread covered with butter, etc. Ir. [ceapaire]; from [ceap], a block. Cf. , a wheel-barrow wheel. , piece, article of clothing, so Ir., E.Ir. [cerp], cutting, [cerbaim]; [*kr@.bh], [skr@.bh]; Gr. @G[kárfos], twig, Eng. [shrub]; [*(s)ker], cut, divide. Cf. W. [carp], rag, cerpyn. Bezzenberger cfs. M.H.G. [herb], asper. St. now [skerb], Eng. [sharp]. , a hen, so Ir., M.Ir. [cerc], [*cercâ]; from I.E. [qerqo], to sound, hence "a noise-making bird"; Gr. @G[kérkos], a cock, @G[kréx], a fowl; Lat. [querquedula], a teal, O.Prus. [kerko], a diver; Skr. [kr@.ka-vâkus], a cock. , a hoop, so Ir.; from L.Lat. [circulus], [circullus], a hoop, from [circulus], a circle. , a craftsman, Ir. [céard], E.Ir. [cerd], W. [cerdd], art; Lat. [cerdo], craftsman; Gr. @G[kérdos], gain. , a smithy, Ir. [céardcha], O.Ir. [cerddchae]; from [cerd]+[cae], the latter word [cae] meaning a house in Ir., a Celtic [kaio-n], allied to Eng. [home]. --page 78 , scarabæbus, dung-beetle, hornet (H.S.D. for form), (M`A.); see [cearnabhan].

[certus], certain, sure, [cerno], discern; Gr. @G[krínw], judge, @G[krités], a judge, Eng. [critic]. , a complaint (M`F.), Ir. [ceasacht], grumbling, M.Ir. [cesnaighim], complain, [ces], sorrow, [*qes-to-]; Lat. [questus], [queror], I complain, [querela], Eng. [quarrel]. ++, floss (Carm.), animal with long flossy hair or wool, Ir. [ceaslach], long hair or wool on fleece legs. See [Ceus]. , examine, catechise, Ir. [ceasnuighim]; from Lat. [quæstio], [quæstionis], Eng. [question]. Stokes (Bk.of Lis.) has suggested that the Lat. and Gadelic are cognate; though possible ([qais], [qis] may become by umlaut [ces] in G.), it is improbable from the stem form in [n] persisting in the G. verb. , mist; this is really the old stem of [ceò], mist, E.Ir. [ciach], q.v. Ir. [ceathach], showery, is from [cith], a shower. , yeomanry, the portion of a population fit for warfare; see [ceatharn]. , a troop, so Ir., E.Ir. [ceithern], [*keternâ]; Lat. [caterua], troop, [catêna], a chain; O.Sl. [ceta], company (Stokes). It has also been regarded as borrowed from Lat. [quaternio], which in the Vulg. means a "body of four soldiers", quaternion. Hence Eng. [cateran], [kern]. , quay, coulter-place, Ir. [ceigh], quay. See [ceadha]. , a mass of shag, clot, , a tuft, a fat man. From Scandinavian [kagge], round mass, [keg], corpulent man or animal, whence Eng. [keg]; Norse, [kaggi], cask, Norwegian, [kagge], round mass. , a kick; from the Eng. , conceal, Ir., [ceilim], O.Ir.

[cilydd] ([y gilydd] = [a chéile] of G. = [eguille] of Br.), [*keiljo-], "way-farer", from --page 79 [kei], go (Lat. [cio], move, Gr. @G[kíw], go, [kínéw], move, [kinetics]. The idea is the same as in Ir. [sétig], wife, from [sét], way. Strachan thinks that G. and W. demand a stem [ceglio-]; and Dr Stokes thinks that, if [céle], servus, is different from [céle], fellow, it must come from [kak-lio-] (better [keklio-]), and be allied to Lat. [cacula], a servant. Hence , a gossiping visit or meeting. , martial (H.S.D.), Ir. [ceallach], war, M.Ir. [cellach], war; Teut. [hildi-], war, Lat. [per-cellere], hit. , chirping of birds, Ir.

[cartilage]; Gr. @G[kártalos], basket; Eng. [hurdle]. , a case, hamper; from Eng. [case]. Ir. [ceis], basket, M.Ir. [ceiss], is a different word, possibly allied to, if not borrowed from, Lat. [cista] (Stokes). From Ir. [ceis] comes , polypody, given in H.S.D. from O'R. Cf. O.Ir. [cass], basket, Lat. [quasillus]. , a question, so Ir., E.Ir. [ceist]; from Lat. [quæstio]. Hence , a sweetheart, founded on "ceisd mo chridhe" - darling (i.e., question, anxiety) of my heart. , large, corpulent woman; see [ceòs]. , May, O.Ir. [cétam] (g. [cétaman]), [cetsoman] ([cetshaman]) in Cor.Gl., where it is explained as [cét-sam-sín], the first weather-motion of [sam] or summer. The word means the "first of summer" - [cét+sam-], the [sam] of [samhradh], q.v. The termination is possibly influenced by other time words. See [Samhainn]. , four, Ir. [ceathair] (n.), [ceithre] (adj.), O.Ir. [cethir], W. [pedwar], Cor. [peswar], Br. [pevar], Gaul. [petor-], [*qetveres], I.E. [qetvôr]; Lat. [quatuor]; Gr. @G[téttares]; Got. [fidvôr], Eng.

The idea is "covering". , a dark nook, corner: , small drizzle; [ceò]+[boinne] or [-bainne], "mist-drop". The Ir. is [ceóbhrán], for [ceò]+[braon]. This last is G. , q.v. Hence (for ?). Also . Ir. [ciabhrán], drizzle, fog, M.Ir. [ciabor], mist. , music, Ir., E.Ir. [ceól], g. [ciúil], [*kipolo-], a Gadelicised form of [*pipolo]; onomatopoetic root [pi@-p], Lat. [pîpilo], chirp, [pipilum], outcry, [pîpo], chirp, Ag.S. [pípe] , Eng. [pipe] (hence W. [pib], G. [pìob], etc.). Stokes and Rhys have given a Celtic [qeqlo-] for stem, allied to W. [pib], pipe. For phonetics, see [feòil]. Stokes now suggests alliance with Ger. [heulen], hoot, howl, O.H.G. [hiuwilôn]. , the hip, podex; see [ceus], poples. Hence , broad-skirted, bulky, clumsy. , burr or light down of feathers; see [ceus], wool of legs, etc. , first, Ir. [céad], O.Ir. [cét], W. [cynt], formerly, [cyntaf], first, Br. [kent], [kenta] (do.), Gaul. [Cintu-], [*kentu-]; allied to W. [cann], with Gr. @G[katá], down, against (=[kn@.ta]); Lat. [contra].

[corr], rostrum, has been referred by Zimmer and Thurneysen to [corr], crane - the name of "beaked" bird doing duty for "beak". The modern meanings of "excess, odd" (cf. [odd] of Eng., which really means "point, end") makes the comparison doubtful. Refer it rather to [kors-], stick out, point, head; Gr. @G[kórsc], head; stem [keras-]; Lat. [crista], Eng.

[crád], [cráidim] (vb.). Ascoli has compared O.Ir. [tacráth], exacerbatione, which he refers to a stem [acrad-], derived from Lat. [acritas]. This will not suit the [à] of [cràdh]. Possibly it has arisen from the root [ker], cut, hurt ([ker], [krâ]). , blood-red, E.Ir. [cró-derg]; see [crò]. , , a fissure; from the Eng. [crack]. , knock; from the Eng. [crack] , skin, Ir. [croiceann], O.Ir. [crocenn], tergus, Cor. [crohen], Br. [kroc'hen], [*krokkenno-], W. [croen], [*krokno-] (?) From [*krok-kenn]: [krok] is allied to Ger. [ru@cken], back, Eng.

[cornus], Lit. [kéras], tree stump, O.Pruss. [kirno], shrub (Bezzenberger). Windisch correlated Lat. [quernus], oaken, but this form, satisfactory as it is in view of the Welsh, rather stands for [quercnus], from [quercus], oak. , withering, shrivelling, Ir. [crannda], decrepit; from [crann]: "running to wood". , a pulpit, a wooden frame to hold the fir candles, Ir. [crannóg], a hamper or basket, M.Ir. [crannoc], a wooden vessel, a wooden structure, especially the "crannogs" in Irish lakes. From [crann]; the word means many kinds of wooden structures in Gadelic lands. , lot, casting lots, Ir. [crannchar], O.Ir. [crannchur]; from [crann] and [cuiir]. , the teal, red-breasted merganser; from [crann] and [lach], duck, q.v. , tree, so Ir., E.Ir. [cróeb], [cráeb], [*croib]? "the splittable", root [krei], [kri], separate; as [tree] of Eng. and its numerous congeners in other languages is from the root [der], split; and som other tree words are from roots meaning violence of rending or splitting ([kládos], [twig], e.g.). For root [kri], see [criathar]. , a spear, E.Ir. [cróisech]; from [craobh]? , a croft; see [croit]. , a wide, open mouth, gluttony, so Ir., E.Ir. [cróes], [cráes], O.Ir. [crois], gula, gluttony. Zimmer cfs. W. [croesan], buffoon. Possibly a Celtic [krapesty-], allied to Lat. [cra@-pula], or to Gr. @G[kraipálc], headache from intoxication. , cross-ways, , an across place; for [crosg], from [cros] of [crois], a cross, q.v. , corpulent (Sh.; H.S.D. for C.S.); from obsolete [cras], body (O'Cl.), Ir. [cras], for [*crapso-], [*kr@.ps], root [kr@.p] of Lat. [corpus]? , back of person, side (Skye): [crot]? , shake, Ir. [crathadh], O.Ir. [crothim], [*kr@.to-]; perhaps allied to Lit. [kresti], [kratýi], shake. But it may be allied to [crith], q.v. It has been compared to Gr. @G[kradáw], brandish, which may be for @G[skardáw], root [sker] in @G[skaírw], spring, Ger. [scherz], joke. This would suit G. [crith], W. [cryd] and [ysgryd]. --page 105 , clay, Ir., O.Ir. [cré], g. [criad], W. [pridd], Cor., Br. [pry]. Its relation to Lat. [crêta], which Wharton explains as from [crêtus], "sifted", from [cerno], is doubtful. If [cerno] be for [*crino], Gr. @G[krínw], we should have the root [kri], [krei], separate, as in [criathar], and it is not labialised in any language (not [qrei]). The Celtic phonetics are not easily explained, however. Stokes gives the stem as [qreid-], but the modern G. has the peculiar [è] sound which we find in [gnè], [cè]. This points to a stem [qre@--jâ], root [qrê], which is in agreement with Lat. [crêta] without doing the violence of supposing [crino] to give [cerno], and this again [crêtus]. Cf. O.Ir. [clé], left. , , body; see [creubh]. , a ball for playing, fir cone: , plunder, so Ir., E.Ir. [crech], plundering, hosting; cf. Br. [kregi], seize, bite, catch (as fire). From the root [ker], cut, ultimately. See [corc], knife, and [creuchd]. , a cockle, Ir. [creach], scollop shell (O'R.); cf. W. [cragen], a shell, Cor. [crogen], Br. [krog]. , , bare summit of a hill wanting foliage, a mountain: "bared", from [creach]? , pudding mad with a calf's entrails (M`L.): , a twitching, piercing pain (Heb.); possibly for [cneadh-ghonadh], "wound-piercing". , a rock, so Ir.; a curtailed form of [carraig]. Also (Dialectically) . Hence Eng. [crag]. , garlic, Ir. [creamh], earlier [crem], W. [craf]; Gr. @G[krómuon], onion; Ag.S. [hramse], Eng. [ramsons]; Lit.

(O'R.): , whetting or hacking of sticks (M`F.; H.S.D. considers it Dialectic), neat-handed (M`L.): , entanglin, hindering, so Ir.; it is an Ir. word evidently, from Lh.; founded on Eng. [cripple]. , a garter, (Skye); (Arm. [creapull]): , (faded) underwood, firewood, Ir. [creathach], hurdle, brushwood, faggots (O'R.): [*kr@.to-]; cf. [crìon]. , cradle, from Northern M.Eng. [credil], Sc. [creddle], Eng. [cradle], Ag.S. [cradol]. Further derivation at present uncertain (Murray). , a lamprey: , a wilderness, so Ir. (Lh., etc.); M`A. gives the word, but it is clearly Ir. Cf. [creathach]. --page 106 , sell, M.Ir. [creicc], sale, E.Ir. [creic], buying, O.Ir. [crenim], I buy, W. [prynn], buy; Skr. [krînami] (do.). There seems a confusion in G. and E.Ir.with the word [reic], sell, q.v. , believe, Ir. [creidim], O.Ir. [cretim], W. [credu], Cor. [cresy], Br. [cridiff], [*kreddiô], O.Ir. [cretim], W. [credu], Cor.

From [cred-dô], "I give heart to". , a grapple (M`D.); from some derivative of Norse [krækja], to hook, [krækill], a crooked stick, Eng. [crook]? , , gnaw, chew, nibble, Ir. [creimim], [creidhmim], M.Ir. [créim]. Ir. is also [creinim], W. [cnithio], [cnoi] (which also means "gnaw"): from [knet], [knen], [kno@-], [ken], bite, scratch, as in [cnàmh], q.v. The [n] of [kn] early becomes [r] because of the [m] or [n] after the first vowel. , suffer for (W. H.. Allied to the O.Ir. [crenim], buy: "You will [buy] for it!" See under [creic]. , grease; from Sc. [creische], from O.Fr. [craisse], [cress], from Lat. [crass], [crassus], thick. Eng. [grease] is of like origin. , a gadful, so Ir. (Fol.), M.Ir. [crebar], W.

It is possible to refer [crí], [cré] to [*krepi-], Lat. [corpus], O.H.G. [href], Ag.S. [hrif], body, Eng. mod-[riff]. Stokes: [crí], [kr@.pes]. , dun, crave; from the Eng.

[kerpù], cut, Skr. [kr@.pana], sword (Strachan). Stokes gives the Celtic as [krekto-s], and Bez. cfs. Norse [hrekja], worry. This neglects the [é] of Gadelic. , what, Ir. [creud], [créad], E.Ir. [crét]; for [ce rét]. See [co] and [rud]. , creed, Ir. [créidh], M.Ir. [credo], W. [credo]; from Lat. [credo], I believe; the first word of the Apostles' [Creed] in Lat. , creature, Ir. [créatúr], W.

Stokes gives the stem as [krêpo-], and Bez. adds Skr. [çu@-/rpa], winnowing basket (Cf. for phonetics [lìon], and Skr. [pûrna], full). Sc., Eng. [creel], which appears about 1400, is usually derived hence; but as the G. form itself is doubtful, and, from all appearance, taken from Lh., it is best to look elsewhere for an etymology for [creel], as, through Fr., from Lat. [craticula]. The G. [criol] exists only in Sh., who found it in Lh. See [croidhleag]. , end, Ir. [críoch], O.Ir. [crích], [*krîka],from the root [krei], separate, as in [criathar], q.v. Stokes and Bezzenberger join W. [crip], a comb, and compare Lit. [kreikti], strew, and, for sense, appeal to the Ger., Eng. [strand], "the strewed", O.Slav. [strana], side. It has also been referred to the root of Lat. [circus], circle, Gr. @G[kríkos]. , nibbling, , a bit; see [creim]. , little, withered, Ir. [críon], E.Ir. [crín], W. [crin], fragile, dry, Br.

[hairus], sword. Stokes allies it to Skr. [çrân@.a], cooked, [çrâ], cook, possibly a form of the root [kera], mix, Gr. @G[kéramai], mix. , a strife, quarrelsomeness, Ir. [críoncánachd]: an Ir. word from Lh., apparently. Perhaps [críon-cán], "small reviling". , attentive to small things, prudent, so Ir.

M`A. has , a clew of yarn. , a belt, girdle, so Ir., O.Ir. [criss], [fo-chridigedar], accingat, W. [crys], shirt, E.W. [crys], belt, M.Br. [crisaff], succingere, Br. [kreis], middle. Bez. suggests comparison with Lit. [skritulýs], circle, knee-cap, [skreiste@?], mantle. It has been referred also to the root [krid] of [cridhe], heart. , a Christian, Ir. [Criosduighe], M.Ir.

[crogán], pitcher, E.Ir. [crocann], olla, W. [crochan], [*krokko-]; Gr. @G[krwssós], pitcher (@G[*krwkjos]); to which are allied, by borrowing somehow, Eng. [crock], Ag.S. [crocca], Norse [krukka], Ger. [krug]. G. and W. phonetics (G. [g] = W. [ch].) are unsatisfactory. Schrader derives these words from O.Ir. [crocenn], skin - a "skin" vessel being the original. , an aged ewe; from the Sc. [crock]; cf. Norw. [krake], a sickly beast, Fries. [krakke], broken-down horse, etc. --page 109 , large hand, hand in paw form, <*crobhag>, Ir. [crobh], hand from wrist to fingers, paw, hoof, O.Ir. [crob], hand.

[crwm], Br. [krom], O.Br. [crum], [krumbo-]; from the same root as [cruinn]? The Ag.S. [crumb], crooked, Eng. [crumple, Ger. [krumm], have been compared, and borrowing alleged, some holding that the Teutons borrowed from the Celts, and [vice versa]. Dr Stokes holds that the Celts are the borrowers. The Teutonic and Celtic words do not seem to be connected at all in reality. It is an accidental coincidence, which is bound to happen sometimes, and the wonder is it does not happen oftener. , measure the length of the middle finger, Ir. [cruma], [cromadh]; from [crom]. , kite, hawk, from [crom]. , fault, harm, Ir. [cronaim], I bewitch; cf. M.Ir. [cron], rebuking. The idea is that of being "fore-spoken" by witchcraft.

[hréam], a din. , a dirge, croon, purring, Ir., E.Ir. [cronán]. O'Curry (Mann. and Cust. III., 246) writes the Ir. as [crónán], and defines it as the low murmuring or chorus to each verse of --page 110 the [aidbsi] or choral singing. Sc. [croon], [croyn] (15th century), corresponds to Du. [kreunen], groan, M.Du. [krönon], lament, M.Low G. [kronen], growl, O.H.G. [chrônan], M.L.G. [kroenen], chatter (Murray, who thinks the Sc. came from Low Ger. in M.Eng. period). It seems clear that the Gadelic and Teutonic are related to each other by borrowing; seemingly the Gadelic is borrowed. , deformed person (Suth.); from Norse [kroppinn], deformed. See under [crùb]. , crossing, thwarting, Ir. [crosanta]; also G. (and ), a peevish man; all from [cros], the basis of [crois], cross, q.v. , from [crosan], poet, chorister. , perverse, irascible, so Ir.; from the G. base [cros] of [crois], cross. , lichen, especially for dyeing, cudbear: [*crottal]; [*crot-to-], from [krot], cf. Gr. @G[krotw/nc], an excrescence on a tree. Hence Sc. [crottle]. M.Ir. [crotal] means "husk" (which may be G. above), "kernel, cymbal". In the last two senses the word is from the Lat. [crotalum], a rattle; the Irish used a small pear-shaped bell or rattle, whence the Ir.Eng. [crotal] (Murray). , a pile, heap, Ir., E.Ir. [cruach], W. [crug], Cor. [cruc], O.Br. [cruc], [*kroukâ]; Lit. [kráuti], to pile, [krúvi], heap; Norse [krúga], heap. Others have compared the Norse [hraukr], a small stack, Ag.S. [hreác], Eng. [rick]. , , hip, upper part of the hip, E.Ir. [cruachait]; from [cruach], heap, hump. Stokes translates the Ir. as "chine", and considers it like the corresponding Ger. [kreuz], derived from Lat. [crûcem], cross. The Gaelic meaning is distinctly against this. , hard, Ir. [cruaidh], O.Ir. [cruaid], [*kroudi-s]; root [kreva], to be blood, raw, whence [crò], blood, q.v.; Lat. [crûdus], Eng. [crude]. Hence , hard, rocky. , squat, crouch, Ir. [crúbadh], to bend, crook; also G. , cripple, Ir. do.; from Norse [krjúpa], to creep, kneel (Eng. [creep], etc.), [kroppinn], crippled, root [kreup], [krup], as in Eng. [cripple], Sc. [cruppen thegether], contracted, bowed. Cf. W. [crwb], bent. , bed recess (Carm.): , the crab-fish, Ir.

[chrotta], [*krotta]: [krot-ta-], from [krot], [kurt], root [kur], as in G. [cruinn], round, q.v., Gr. @G[kurtós] (do.): "the curved instrument". Stokes refers it to the root [krot], strike, as in Gr. @G[krotéw], rattle, clap. Hence Eng. [crowd]. , , wheat, Ir. [cruithneachd], O.Ir. [cruithnecht]: [*kr@.t-on-], root [kert], [ker], cut, "that which is cut"; Lit. [kertù], cut; Gr. @G[keírw], Lat. [curtus], etc. (Rhys). It has been compared to the Lat. [Ceres], Eng.

It is generally held that [cuach] is borrowed from the Lat., though phonetically they may be cognate. Thw W.

[kôkilas], [koka]. , the hair, a lock, curl, Ir. [cuailen] (Stokes). This Stokes refers to a stem [*koglenno-], and cfs. Gr. @G[kóhlos], a spiral-shelled shell-fish, @G[kohlías], spiral-shelled snail, Lat. [cochlea]. As the Gr. may be for [hóhlos], the derivation is uncertain. Ir. [cuailín], a bundle, faggot, suggests that a similar derivation from [cual] was used metaphorically for a "bundle or cord of hair". , a club, bludgeon, Ir., E.Ir. [cuaille], [*kaullio-]; Gr. @G[kaulós], stalk; Lat. [caulis], stalk; Lit. [káulas], a bone (Stokes). It may, however, be for [*coud-s-lio-], from [qoud], Lat.

[gut]. , bobtailed, so Ir., E.Ir. [do-chotta], they cut short, W. [cwta]. The relationship, if any, existing between [cut], [cutach], and Eng. [cut], is one of borrowing; the history of Eng. [cut] is obscure, and the Celtic words mean "short, shorten", not "to cut" with a knife. Besides, the E.Ir. appears a century and a half earler than the Eng. (1139 [v]. 1275). Stokes has suggested a borrowing from Fr. [couteau] (= [cultellus], knife) for the E.Ir. form. Rhys says W. is Eng. [cutty], borrowed. , , rage, Ir.

Bezzenberger suggests alliance with Eng. [top], Ger. [topf]. Eng. [tub], if allied to the Ger. [zuber], is from the root of [two], "a two-eared" vessel. Also , and in place-names . , more likely; see [dócha]. , home (adverb), a home, Ir. [do thigh], M.Ir. [dia tig], home, E.Ir. [dia thaig]; from [do] and [tigh].

[dadadh], [dadamh], aught, a jot, etc., [*da-z-dho-], root [da], divide, Lit. [dalìs], part, Gr. @G[dasmós], division? See ++[dàil]. Hence , a mote, and = [dad]. , a pistol; from M.Eng. [dag], a pistol, from Fr. [dague], a dagger, whence Br. [dag]. The change of meaning from "dagger" to "pistol" is one which occurs in the history of "pistol" itself, for it originally meant "dagger".

[dalis], a part, Skr. [da@-/ti], cut off, [dalas], part. The verb , distribute, is given in H.S.D. as a dialectic form; the Ir. is [dáilim].

[dám]: [*dâmâ], tribe, company; Gr. @G[dc@nmos], Dor. @G[da@nmos], people, tribe, Eng. [demo]cracy. It is usual to compare O.W. [dauu], cliens, W. [daw] ([dawf]), son-in-law, M.Br. [deuff], Br. [den] (do.); but these words may be allied to Gr. @G[dámar], spouse, and be from the root [dam], [dom], house. , strong, firm, so Ir., O.Ir. [daingen], W.

[folom], [folomm]; cf. O.W. [guollung], M.Br. [gollo], Br. [goullo]. Windisch derives the G. from [lom], bare, but the modern aspiration of [folamh] makes this derivation doubtful. Ernault refers the Br. to the root of Lat. [langueo]. , go , moving about, walking, waving, Ir. [foluamhain], bustling, running away, E.Ir. [folúamain], flying; see [fo] and [luainech]. O.Ir. [fulumain], volubilis, allied to Lat. [volvo], Eng. [wallow], would suit the phonetics best, but it does not appear in the later dialects. The verb [falbh] is made from [falbhan].

Atkinson suggests with a query [fo'nd(fh)echt-sa]. The root word is [fecht], time: "under this time, sub hoc tempus". See [feachd], time.

[fecht], journey), giving as stem [vektâ], root [vegh] (Lat. [veho], Eng. [waggon]); for [fecht], campaign, hosting, he gives the Celtic [viktâ], root [viq], as Zimmer does. The words seem, as Stokes has it, from two roots, but now they are indistinguishably mixed. Osthoff regards [feachd], time, as allied to Lat. [vices]; see [fiach]. , a whistle, Ir. [fead], M.Ir.

Stokes refers it to the root [ve@g], [u@g], discussed under [fual], especially Gr. @G[u@`grós], wet; a root which would rather be [vob] in Celtic (cf. Lat.), and this would not give W. [oer]. Strachan suggests either Ch.Sl. [ogni@u], fire (Lat. [ignis]), or Gr. @G[págos], frost (root [pâg], fix, fit). Hence , windward side, , a well, , damp, (Ir.

Stokes takes a different view; he gives as basis for [gall], stranger, [*gallo-s], W. [gal], enemy, foe: [*ghaslo-]? root [ghas], Lat. [hos-tis], Eng. [guest]. Hence he derives [Gallus], a Gaul, so named from some Celtic dialect. , a bitch; cf. W. [gast], a bitch. G. is possibly for [*gas-liâ].

Consider the idiom; "Nì e sin is mise an so" - "He will do it and I here"; literally: "He will do it, I am here". It is usually regarded as a curtailment of [agus], and hence spelt variously as , <'us>. , a sausage; from Norse [íspen], a sausage of lard and suet (= [í-spen], from [speni], a teat). , a chicken, young of any bird, Ir.

[mutilate]), [muticus], docked; Gr. @G[mítulos], hornless. , , a muff, fingerless glove, also (Arms.); from [miotag], with a leaning on [mutach], short. Thurneysen takes --page 259 it from [mutach] without reference to [miotag]. Ir. has [muthóg] (Con.). , change, M.W. [mudaw]; from Lat. [mûto], I change. , from, in , , Ir., O.Ir. [an-]; see [a] number 5.>> , not, ne, Ir., O.Ir. [na]: used with the imperative mood solely. It is an ablaut and independent form of the neg. prefix [in] (see [ion-], [an-]), an ablaut of I.E. [nê], Lat. [nê], Gr. @G[nc-]; shorter from Lat. [ne@u-], Got. [ni], Eng. [not] (ne-á-wiht]), etc.; further I.E. [n@.-], Gr. @G[a@'n-], Lat. [in-], Eng. [un-], Gaelic [an-]. See [nach], which is connected herewith as Gr. @G[ou@'k], @G[ou@']; the W. is [nac], [nag], with imperative, Br. [na]. , or, vel, Ir. [ná], E.Ir., O.Ir. [nó], W. [neu]: [*nev] (Stokes, who allies it to Lat. [nuo], nod, Gr. @G[neúw], Skr. [návate], go remove; but, in 1890, Bez. Beit.@+[16] 51, he refers it to the root [nu], Eng. [now]). It can hardly be separated from [neo], otherwise, q.v. Strachan agrees. , than, Ir. [ná], M.Ir. [iná], E.Ir. [inda], [indás], O.Ir. [ind as], [indás], pl. [indate] (read [indáte]); from the prep. [in] and [tá], to be (Zeuss@+[2], 716-7, who refers to the other prepositional comparative conjunction [oldaas], from [ol], de). The use of [in] in O.Ir. as the relative locative may also be compared. , what, that which, id quod, M.Ir. [ina], [ana], inna n-], E.Ir. [ana n-]; for [an a], O.Ir. rel. [an] (really neuter of art.) and G. rel [a], which see. Descent from [ni] or [ni], without any relative, is favoured by Book of Deer, as [do ni thíssad], of what would come. Possibly from both sources. <'na>, <'na->, in his, in her, in (my); the prep. [an] with the possessive pronouns: <'nam>, <'nar>, <'nad> (also , E.Ir. [at], [it]), <'nur>, <'na>, <'nan>. , , a neighbour; from the Norse , neighbour, "nigh-dweller", the same in roots as Eng. [neighbour]. , not, that not (conj.), that not = quin (rel), noone? Ir., E.Ir. [nach], W. [nac], [nag], not, Br. [na]: [*nako], from [na], not, which see above, and [ko] or [k] as in Gr. @G[ou@'k] against @G[ou@'] (Stokes). The [ko] has been usually referred to the same pronominal origin as [-que] in Lat. [neque]; it does appear in [neach]. , nature, Ir. [nádúr], W. [natur]; from Lat. [natura]. , a lamprey (Sh., O'B.), Ir. [naid]: , news, Ir. [núaidheachd], W. [newyddion]; from [nuadh], new. , yea! an interjection: --page 260 , , upwards, Ir. [anáirde], E.Ir. [i n-ardi], [i n-airddi]; prep. [in] (now [an]) into, and [àirde], height: "into height". This adverb is similar in construction to [a bhàn], [a mach], [a steach], etc., for which see [a] number 6.>> , shame, Ir. [náire], E.Ir. [náre]: [*nagro-], shameful, root [nagh], be sober, Gr. @G[nc/fw] (do.), Ger.

[da], [dá] (for [da n-], eclipsing), E.Ir. [dá n-], [día n-], O.Ir. [dian]: the prep. [di] or [de] and rel. [an]; Manx [dy]. The G. form with [n] for [d] is puzzling, though its descent from [da n-] seems undoubted. , nine, so Ir., O.Ir. [nói n-], W., Corn. [naw], Br. [nao]: [*neun@.]; Lat. [novem]; Gr. @G[e@'n-néa]; Eng. [nine], Ger. [neun]; Skr. [návan]. , an infant, so Ir., O.Ir. [nóidiu], gen. [nóiden]: [*ne-vid-], "non-witted"? Cf. for force Gr. @G[nc/pios], infant (= @G[nc-pios], not-wise one), from @G[-pi[f]os], wise, @G[pinutós] (do.), root [qei] of [ciall], q.v. So Stokes in Celt.Ph.@+[2]; now [*no-vidiôn] ([no] = [ne]); cf. Gr. @G[nc/pios]. , holy, Ir. [naomh], E.Ir. [nóem], [nóeb], O.Ir. [nóib]: [*noibo-s]; O.Pers. [naiba], beautiful, Pers. [nîw] (do.). Bez. suggests the alternative of Lettic [naigs], quite beautiful. , a snipe, Ir. [naosga]: [*snoib-sko-], root [sneib], [snib] of Eng.

[nusca], fibula, Norse [nist], brooch: [*n@.dh-sko-], root [n@.dh] (Brug.). The verg [nasg], O.Ir. [-nascim], appears in Br. as [naska]. The root [nedh] is in Skr. [nahyati]. Others make the root [negh] of Lat. [nexus], etc., and the root [snet] of [snàth], q.v., has been suggested. See [snaim] further. , gratis, free, Ir. [a n-aisge], freely, [aisge], a gift. See [asgaidh]. --page 261 , nitre; from Eng. [natron], [nitre], , a serpent, so Ir., O.Ir. [nathir], W. [neidr], Corn. [nader], M.Br. [azr]: [*natrîx]; Lat. [natrix], water snake; Got. [nadrs], Norse [naðr], Eng. [adder]. The Teutonic words are regarded by Kluge as scarcely connected with Lat. [natrix], whose root is [nat], swim. <-ne>, emphatic participle added to the pl. of 1st pers. pron. [sin-ne], [ar n-athair-ne], "our father"; O.Ir. [ni], [-ni], used independently (= [nos]) and as a suffix. See further under [sinne]. , anyone, Ir. [neach], O.Ir. [nech], aliquis, W., Cor., Br. [nep], [neb], quisquam: [*neqo-], [ne-qo-]; Lit. [nekàs], something, [nekúrs], quidam, Let.. [ká ne ká], anyhow. Stokes takes the [ne] from the negative root [ne] (se [na]); the [qo] is the pronominal stem of the interrogative (cf. Lat. [-que], [neque]). , a nest, Ir. [nead], E.Ir. [net], W. [nyth], Corn. [neid], Br. [nez], [neiz]: [*nizdo-s]; Lat. [nîdus]; Eng. [nest]; Skr. [nîdas]. Supposed to be from [*ni-sed-], "sit down". , heaven, Ir. [neamh], O.Ir. [nem], W., Corn. [nef], M.Br. [neff], now [env]: [*nemos]; Skr. [námas], bowing, reverence; Lat. [nemus], grove; Gr. @G[némos], pasture: root [nem], distribute, Gr. @G[némw] (do.), Ger. [nehmen], take. Gaulish has @G[nemcton] or @G[nemeton], O.Ir. [nemed], sacellum. Often, and lately (1895) by Prof. Rhys, referred to the root [nebh], be cloudy, Gr. @G[néfos], cloud, Lat. [nebula] (see [neul]); but the Gaelic nasalized [èa] is distinctly against this, as also is the Br. [env] (Stokes). , a pearl, Ir. [meamhunn], M.Ir. [niamnuid], pearl, E.Ir. [nemanda], pearly, O.Ir. [ném], onyx (for [nem]?); root [nem] of [nèamh]. , nettle, Ir. [neantóg], E.Ir. [nenntai], nettles, [nenaid]. See [deanntag]. , a napkin, Ir. [naipicín]; from Eng. , happiness, usually , lucky to, Ir. [moigheanéar], happy is he (O'B.), [is meanar duit-se], happy it is for you (O'Growney), M.Ir. [mo ghenar duit], good luck to you (F.M.), [mongenar] (L.B.), E.Ir. [mogenar]. The root seems to be [mag] (I.E. [magh]), increase (see [mac]); cf. Lat. [macte], root, [mak], great. , a daughter (Oss. Ballads); if a word properly handed down, it is interesting to compare it with the root of the following.>> , strength, Ir. [neart], O.Ir. [nert], W., Corn. [nerth], Br. [nerz], Gaul. [nerto-], root [ner]; Skr. [nár], man; Gr. @G[a@'nc/r] (root [ner]); Lat. Umbr. [nerus], viros, Sab. [Nero], fortis; Teut. [Nerthus], Norse {Njörðr]; Lit. [nore@?ti], to will. --page 262 , weazel; see [nios]. , , a boil, Ir. [neascóid], E.Ir. [nescoit]: [*ness-conti-], from E.Ir. [ness], wound ([*snit-so-], root [snit], cut. Ger. [schneide], S. [sned]), and [-conti-] found in [urchoid]? Stokes regards E.Ir. [ness], wound, as from [*nesko-], root [neg]. , poison, Ir. [nimh], [neimh], O.Ir. [nem], pl. [neimi]: [*nemes-], "something given", root [nem-], distribute (as in [nèamh])? , a turnip; from the Sc. [neep], M.Eng. [ne@-pe], from Lat. [nâpus]. , , otherwise, alioquin (conj.); see next.>> , un-, Ir. [neamh-], [neimh-], M.Ir. [nem], O.Ir. [neb-], [neph-]: [*ne-bo-]; the [ne] is the negative seen in [na], [ni], but the [bo] is doubtful. Zimmer suggests that [b] is what remains of the subj. of [bu], be: "be not". , , the daisy, Ir. [nóinin]: "noon-flower", from [nòin], noon. Cf. the Eng. [daisy] for force. , eccentric, curious: [*neo-gnàthach], "unwont". , a stye in the eye (Arg.); cf. [leamhnad]. Also [steònagan]; cf. Sc.

[ni], neque; Zend [naê]; Gr. @G[nc-]. Thur. says [*ne-est] = [*nést], Celtic [níst], [nìs], [ni h-] non-aspirating. , a thing, Ir. [nidh], O.Ir. [ní], res, probably a curtailed form of O.Ir. [aní], id quod, from the art.neut. and the pronominal suffix [ei], which Zimmer compares to Got. [ei], that (conj.), [sa-ei], [that-ei], which is either the locative of pronominal [o-] (Gr. @G[ei@'], I.E. [ei-so], this here), or the particle seen in Gr. @G[ou@`tos-í] ([i] long), an instrumental of Lat. [is], Gaelic [e], he. Some have regarded [ni] as from [*gnithe], factum, which see in [ní], will do. , cattle; this is the same as [ni], thing. , will do, Ir. [gním], I do, O.Ir. [dogní], facit; see [dèan], [gnìomh]. , courageous, Ir. [nia], gen. [niadh], a champion, [niadhas], valour, M.Ir. [forniatta], brave, E.Ir. [nia], g. [níath], possibly Ogam [neta], [netta] (*nêta]?): [*neid-], Gr. @G[o@'neidos], revile, Lit. [náids], hatred, Skr. [nind], mock, or [*ni-sed-], down-setter? Rhys ([Lect.]) cfs. the Teut. [nanþ], venture, strive; this would give Gaelic preserved [d]. , female patronymic prefix, M.Gaelic [nee] (D.of L.), Ir. [ní], M.Ir. [iní], an abbreviation of O.Ir. [ingen], now [inghean] or --page 263 [nighean] and [ui], nepotis (Stokes). The G. [nic], really "grand-daughter", stands for [inghean mhic] or [ní mhic]; we have recorded in 1566 [Ne V@+[c] Kenze] (M`Leod Charters). , wash, Ir. [nighim], E.Ir. [nigim], O.Ir. [dofonuch], lavo, [nesta], laveris: [*ligô], I.E. [nei@gô]; Gr. @G[nízw], @G[níptw]; Eng. [nick], [Auld Nick], a water power, Ger. [nix]; Skr. [nij], clean. , a daughter; a corruption of [inghean], q.v. , poison, Ir. [nimh]; see [neimh]. , not (with perfect tense), Ir. [níor], E.Ir. [nír] = [ní-ro]; [ro] is the sign of past tenses. , , a weazel, Ir. [neas], [eas(óg)], O.Ir. [ness]: , from below, up, Ir. [aníos], E.Ir. [anís]; from [an] (see [a] number 5>>) and [ìos]. , now, Ir. [anois], M.Ir. [anosa], E.Ir. [innossai], O.Ir. [indossa]; [ind] (now [an]) of the article and G. [fois], rest. The word appears in , q.v. The form [indorsa], this hour (= now), is rejected by Ascoli as a misspelling for [indossa]. , id quod, the usual classical Gaelic with the verb substantive to denote comparative state: , she is better, Ir [nios], M.Ir. [ní is]: "thing that is", from [ni] and [is]. The usual and true Gaelic form is not a degraded form of Ir. [ni 's]. The G. [na] of [na 's] is simply = id quod (see ); the Ir. is some mediæval development with [ní], for old [ana], id quod, was lost, the simple [a] (art.) being used now in its stead, as in O.Ir. As it was impossible to use [a] in the comparative construction with clearness, recourse was had to [ní is]. Thus Ir.: An tan do thógradh ní ba mó do dheunamh = G. An [tan] a thogradh e na bu mhò a dhèanamh. Hence should never have been used in Sc. Gaelic. , a corner; from the Sc. [neuk], M.Eng. [no@-k]. Dial. . Skeat thinks the Eng. is the borrower. , or, vel, Ir. [ná], E.Ir., O.Ir. [nó], W. [neu]; see [na]. , to-night, Ir. [anochd], O.Ir. [innocht], hac nocte: [the art. and [nochd], night, W.

[noggin]. Skeat thinks the Eng. are the borrowers; but this is unlikely. , noon, Ir. [nóin], g. [nóna], evening, noon, E.Ir. [nóin], [nóna], W. [nawn]; from the Lat. [nôna] hora, ninth hour of the day, or 3 o'clock. , the east, Ir. [anoir], O.Ir. [anair], "from before", if one looks at the morning sun; from [an] (see [a] number 5>>) and [air]. , Christmas, Ir.

[numerus]. Thurneysen thinks the Gadelic words are borrowed from the Welsh [naws], from [gnaws] (see [gnàth]). Stokes gives [*nomso-] as stem for Gadelic alone; the W. he regards as from [gnâ], as above. The ideal stem would be [*nâsto-], root [nâd]. , a cow's first milk, E.Ir. [nus]; from [nua], new, and [ass], milk. , a notary, Ir. [nótadóir], O.Ir. [notire]; from Lat. [notarius]. , a foolish person: , angry, surly; see [nuarranta]. , new, Ir. [núadh], O.Ir.

[inunn]; from the prep. [an] (see [a] 5>>) and [sund], here ("from here"), W. [hwnt], Br. [hont]: ([so-u-to-s]), this. The pronominal forms beginning in [so] and [to], or [s] and [t] without [o], are all from the roots [so] and [to] ultimately. --page 265 , the interjection "O! oh!" Ir. [o]; see vocative [a]. , from, , Ir. [ó], O.Ir. [ó], [ua] ([hó], [hua]): [*ava]; Skr. [áva], away, off; Lat. [au-], as in [aufero], take away; Ch.Sl. [u-], Pruss. [au-]. Also , q.v. , since, when, with the rel. as , Ir. [ó], O.Ir. [ó], ex quo; it is merely the prep. [o] used as a conjunction. , refuse, Ir. [obaim], O.Ir. [obbaim], [obbad] (inf.); referred to [ud-bad], "out-speak", the prefix [ud-], out (allied to Eng. [out], Skr. [ud], out, of) and [ba], speak, I.E. [bha], Lat. [fari], Gr. @G[fa] in @G[fcmí]. Ascoli gives the root as [ben] (see [bean]), repellere. <òb>, a creek; from NNorse [hóp], small land-locked bay, Sc. [hope], Ag.S. [hóp], valley. , a charm; see [ubag]. , a work, so Ir., E.Ir. opair], [oper], O.Ir. [opred], operatio; from Lat. [opus] (g. [operis]), [opera]. ++, a confluence; the usual pronunciation of the [Aber-] in place names. See [abar]. , sudden, Ir. [obann], E.Ir. [opond]: [*od-bond], e vestigio, from [bonn]? Stokes refers it to the root of Gr. @G[a@'/fnw], O.Slav. [abije], immediately, suggesting [*ob-nó-]. W. [buan] also suggests itself. , interest on money, Ir. [ocar], W. [ocr]; from Norse [okr], usury, Ag.S. [wocer], Got. [wokrs], Ger. [wucher]; root [ve@g]. , an interjection, alas! Ir. [och], [uch], O.Ir. [uch], vae, [ochfad], sighing: [*uk]; Got.

[octo]; Gr. @G[o@'ktw/]; Got. [ahtau]; Skr. [ashtaú]. , alas, Ir. [och ón]; literally "alas this"! From [och] and the old pronoun [ón], discussed under [eadhon]. , hunger, Ir.

[careo], want, may be suggested as allied; root [ker], [kor]. , yonder, yon; see [ud]. , tongue of land; [oddr]. , horse-race (Uist), race, race-course (Carm.); cf. N. [at], horse-fight. , dun, so Ir., E.Ir. [odar]: [*odro-s], for [*odh-ro-], shady, Lat. [umbra] (= [*o-n-dhra]), [âter], dark, Umbrian [adro], atra. Bez. suggests, with query, [*jodras], allied to Lit. [ju@*das], dark. Thurneysen has referred [*odro-s] to I.E.

[ogum], [Ogma ma Elathan] (son of knowledge), the Hercules of the Gaelic gods, Gaul. [Ogmios], the Gaul. Hercules and god of eloquence: [*Ogambio-s]. Cf. Gr. @G[o@'/gmos] (@G[*g-mos]?), a furrow, line, Skr. [ájmas], course, run, root [ag]: the comparison is very doubtful. See [oidheam]. <òglach>, a youth, servant, Ir. [óglach], O.Ir.
