aicce

== Old Irish == === Etymology === According to Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru, related to Welsh ach (“lineage”), Old Cornish ach, and Old Breton acom. Stifter reconstructs Proto-Celtic *akkiyā as the ancestor of all these cognates, and derives this from Proto-Celtic *ad- (“at”). Previously, Zimmer related this to ocus (“near, close”) and oc (“beside, by”). MacBain derived this from the root of Middle Irish taca (“support, prop”); compare Scottish Gaelic taic (“support”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈa.kʲe/ === Noun === aicce f (genitive aicce) nearness, proximity fosterage ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== i n-aicci (“near, beside; nearby”) ==== Descendants ==== Irish: aice Scottish Gaelic: aice === Mutation === === References === === Further reading === Gregory Toner, Sharon Arbuthnot, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Marie-Luise Theuerkauf, Dagmar Wodtko, editors (2019), “aicce”, in eDIL: Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language
