cronaigh

== Irish == === Alternative forms === crothnaigh (“miss”) cronuigh, crothnuigh (obsolete) === Etymology === From Middle Irish cronaigid (“complain (of), rebuke”). By surface analysis, cron (“fault, defect”) +‎ -igh. Dinneen’s dictionary distinguishes between crothnaigh (“to miss, notice (the absence of)”) and cronaigh (“blame, find fault”), so it is possible that the two senses have separate etymologies. However, it is unclear what the etymology of crothnaigh might be, as that verb is not present in the Dictionary of the Irish Language. === Pronunciation === (Ulster) see: crothnaigh === Verb === cronaigh (present analytic cronaíonn, future analytic cronóidh, verbal noun cronú, past participle cronaithe) to miss (notice the absence of) (literary) to reprove, find fault (literary) to bewitch ==== Conjugation ==== === Mutation === === Further reading === Gregory Toner, Sharon Arbuthnot, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Marie-Luise Theuerkauf, Dagmar Wodtko, editors (2019), “cronaigid”, in eDIL: Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language Dinneen, Patrick S.
