tarmitét

Old Irish

Alternative forms

tremi·tét

Etymology

From tarmi- +‎ ·tét. Calque of Latin transgredior.

Pedersen and DIL treat tremi·tét^[1]^[2] and tarmi·tét^[3]^[4] as synonyms formed with different prefixes, but Thurneysen points out that tremi- is regularly found for tarmi- in pretonic position,^[5] implying that the two are morphologically equivalent.

A separate verb tremi·tét (“to traverse; to penetrate”) actually does have tremi- from tre- (“through”).
