Etymology

A verb with a normally simple etymology but complicated by an irregular preterite.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈsaðʲiðʲ/

Verb

saidid (verbal noun suide)

  1. to sit (down)
    • c. 800, Würzburg Glosses on the Pauline Epistles, published in Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus (reprinted 1987, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), edited and with translations by Whitley Stokes and John Strachan, vol. I, pp. 499–712, Wb. 26a8
      Seiss i tempul amal do·n-essid Críst; ꝉ do·géntar aidchumtach tempuil less, et pridchibid smactu rechto fetarlicce, et gébtit Iudei i n-apid, et ɔ·scéra rect núíadnissi.

Inflection

The preterite is reduplicated, while the perfect is from an á-preterite formation obscured in the plural by analogical palatalization.
