Old Irish
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Celtic *adkʷiseti, from ad- + Proto-Celtic *kʷiseti, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷeys- (“to observe”), the only other reflex of which in Celtic is Gaulish pissiumi (“I will see”). Cognate with Sanskrit चायति (cā́yati, “perceives”), Old Avestan 𐬗𐬋𐬌𐬱𐬙 (cōišt, “assign, allocate”).
See ad·condairc for the etymology of the deuterotonic perfect forms.

Usage notes
[edit]ad·cí is mostly immune to augmentation (with ro- or a similar preverb). For example, in the following dependent clause all three verbs are expected to have the potential augment:
- c. 9th century, Bethu Brigte, edited Donncha Ó hAodha (1978), lines 434-5 "Raga" ar Brigit, "conid·n-acar ⁊ conid·n-arladar ⁊ co·tarda bennacht form"
- "I shall go" said Brigit, "that I may see him (unaugm.) and that I may talk to him (augm.) and that he may bestow (augm.) a blessing upon me".
In the preterite however ad·condairc serves as the suppletive augmented form (perfect), but only in independent position! Other ro-forms, like ·airciu, ad·rodarcar, etc., meaning “can see”, “can be seen”, etc., are rare late forms.[1]
