Proto-Celtic

Etymology

Contains the suffix *-tus.

Irslinger derives this from Proto-Indo-European *ǵar- (“to shout, call”), but if this root is reocnstructed with a laryngeal like as *ǵeh₂r-, this comparison becomes impossible (*gartus and not *gritus would have resulted).

*gritus m[1]

  1. shouting
