fogaib
Old Irish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]A suppletive verb. Noticeably, its root word gaibid does not contain this suppletion.
- Most of the forms are from fo- + gaibid.
- The preterite forms (·fúair, ·frith etc.) are derived from Proto-Celtic *wourū, with the preterite non-passive forms from the reformed reduplicated preterite *woure and the preterite passive from the past participle *wrītos. These forms are cognate with Ancient Greek εὑρίσκω (heurískō, “to find, discover”).[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]fo·gaib (prototonic ·fagaib, verbal noun fagbál)
Usage notes
[edit]fo·gaib is an inherently telic verb and cannot be augmented with ro- (or similar). Unaugmented forms are used in contexts typically requiring augmentation.[2]
