[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle Breton galloet, from Proto-Celtic *galnati (“to be able”). Cognate with Cornish gallos, Welsh gallu.
Verb
[edit]gallout
Usage notes
[edit]- This verb can either appear as gallout or as gellout, forms with gall- are more common in the infinitive and past participle and forms with gell- appear mostly in conjugated forms however. This difference is also know in Cornish where the same verb gallos sometimes has a gyll- conjugation. These alternative roots are however normalized in Cornish conjugation, see gallos.
- Gallout can't be conjugated using the auxiliary verb ober like most Breton verbs because it is itself an auxiliary. Thus you have to say ma zi a c'hallan gwerzhañ or me a c'hall gwerzhañ ma zi instead of expected *gallout a ran gwerzhañ ma zi for I can sell my house.
