gataid

Old Irish

Etymology

A denominative verb from gait.

There is a hypothesis since Thurneysen and Pedersen that the augmented forms of this verb were formed by a suppletive compound verb formation derived from to- + *ɸalnati,[1] and as such the conjugations of that formation are subsumed under this entry, instead of DIL's lemma do·alla. McCone believed that this hypothesis is "strong, but not proven".[2] However, a regular perfect passive, ro·gatta, is attested in the Táin Bó Fraích.
