Proto-Celtic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Thought to be cognate with Proto-Germanic *sagjaz (“sedge”), both perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *sek(H)- (“to cut”),[1] either from *séks-keh₂, from se-present *sék(H)-se-ti + *-keh₂, or *sésk(H)-eh₂, from reduplicated thematic aorist *sé-sk(H)-et + *-eh₂.[2][3]

Reconstruction notes[edit]
The Middle Irish form cannot be from the exact same form as the Brythonic, as an i-stem would lead to an i-affection of the *e, which does not actually occur.
