arcondla

Old Irish

Alternative forms

  • ar·connla

Etymology

From ar- +‎ com- +‎ dáilid (to portion out). The -ndl- cluster underwent depalatalization, which triggered a change of present-tense conjugation classes from A II to A I.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [arˈkon͈dla]

Verb

ar·condla (prototonic ·erchondla, verbal noun erndail)

  1. to share
