ernaid

== Old Irish == === Etymology === From Proto-Celtic *ɸarnati, from Proto-Indo-European *perh₃-. Cognate with Ancient Greek ἔπορον (époron, “give, grant”), Sanskrit पृणाति (pṛṇā́ti, “grant, bestow”), Latin parō (“prepare”). Several proposals have been made attempting to derive the perfect ro·ír from a reduplicated preterite *ɸeɸore. Many sound laws proposed to transform *ɸeɸore to ·ír run into a major counterexample in nïad (“of a nephew”, gen. sg. < *neɸotos, featuring the same *eɸo sequence) (identical with the gen. sg. Primitive Irish NIOTTA). Nikolaev (2010) more convincingly reconstructs *ɸīrat (3sg.), derived from a Narten-ablaut imperfect. On the other hand, Schumacher (2004) derives *ɸīr- from an innovative weak stem of the perfect *ɸeɸore. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈer.n̪əðʲ/ (Blasse) [ˈer.n̪ɪðʲ] (Griffith) [ˈer.n̪ɨðʲ] === Verb === ernaid (verbal noun rath) to bestow, to grant For quotations using this term, see Citations:ernaid. ==== Inflection ==== === Mutation === === References === === Further reading === Gregory Toner, Sharon Arbuthnot, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Marie-Luise Theuerkauf, Dagmar Wodtko, editors (2019), “ernaid”, in eDIL: Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language Thurneysen, Rudolf (1940) [1909], D.
