Old Irish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
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]
Verb[edit]
tráigid
- to ebb
Inflection[edit]
The verb was originally a strong verb, but by early Irish the present stem was being replaced by a weak formation already.
Simple, class A II present, reduplicated preterite, s future, a subjunctive
