doléici

Old Irish

Alternative forms

do·léci

Etymology

From to- +‎ léicid. The e appearing in the prototonic forms is irregular. The deuterotonic forms in do·f- come from a reinterpretation of the prototonic forms.^[1] Pedersen assigns the forms in do·f- to a separate lemma do·failci from to- + ad- + léicid,^[2] but many of the forms he adduces are actually from do·áilgi (“to soothe, cherish”).
