Descendants

Split into different stems in Middle Irish, with a certain amount of semantic differentiation, though there remains plenty of overlap and confusion between them.

• Middle Irish: tidlaicid
  • Irish: tíolaic (“to convey, dedicate, grant”)
• Middle Irish: tindlaicid
  • Irish: tionlaic (“to accompany”)

Variant forms without the initial t- also exist, which come from conflation of this verb with idnaicid/idlaicid, from unattested *ind·anich. The l in these forms is due to dissimilation of /n͈(d)n͈/ to /n͈l͈/.
