dechellt

== Old Irish == === Etymology === If the correct reading is déchellt, then probably from dé- (“double”) +‎ celt (“garment”), from ceilid (“to conceal”). However, the much better attested Middle Irish descendant is never written with the acute accent, suggesting that the vowel was always short. === Pronunciation === (presuming the first vowel was short) IPA(key): /ˈd̠ʲe.xʲəl̪t̪/ (Blasse) [ˈd̠ʲe.xʲel̪t̪] (Griffith) [ˈd̠ʲe.xʲəl̪t̪] === Noun === dechellt m garment c. 800, Würzburg Glosses on the Pauline Epistles, published in Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus (reprinted 1987, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), edited and with translations by Whitley Stokes and John Strachan, vol.
