Talk:fodha

The etymology section says fodha comes from fo + e. This is not correct. Morphologically, fodha represents fo + e for all synchronic purposes, but etymology is diacrhonic. A correct etymology would show fodha coming from its predecessor in Old Irish, from a reconstructed predecessor in proto-celtic, and then say that THAT is a conflation of the predecessors of fo and e. I don't have the books in front of me that would show what those older forms are, but I'll bet that if we had them, we would also have an explanation of how fodha comes to have a -dh- in the middle. This is a criticism of ALL the Wiktionary etymologies of Gaelic prepositional pronouns. --Doric Loon (talk) 23:07, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
