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.
