tráigid

Old Irish

Etymology

The surviving present stem is a denominative formation from tráig (“ebb, beach”). However, Weiss derives the preterite and future stems from a related B II verb Proto-Celtic *tragyeti, whence also Middle Welsh treio.[1]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [ˈtraːɣʲiðʲ]

Verb

tráigid

  1. to ebb
  2. to exhaust

Inflection

The verb was originally a strong verb, but by early Irish the present stem was being replaced by a weak formation already.
