Reconstruction:Proto-Celtic/sādīti
Appearance
Proto-Celtic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Usually explained as a causative verb from the root Proto-Indo-European *sed- (“to sit”), whence also *sedeti (“to sit”), with unusual lengthened grade.[1] This derivation requires that this long-vowel causative coexist with a regular o-grade causative *sodīti in Celtic.
Schrijver alternatively reconstructs *stādīti, a simple o-grade causative to an extension of Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- (“to stand”).[2] For the dental extension, Schrijver compares Gothic 𐍂𐍉𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽 (rōdjan) and Old Irish ráidid (“to speak”); if Kroonen is correct, the dental extension is *-dʰh₁eti.[3] This etymology excludes Welsh gwahodd but instead allows a connection to Welsh ansawdd (“quality”) instead.
