Etymology

[edit]

An io-ia extension of an erstwhile genitive singular of fot (length), which Pokorny assumes to be a u-stem before it became a neuter o-stem. Supporting this is the occurrence of the forms fota and foto in the Annals of Ulster for the Old Irish period and foto even appearing in the Milan glosses.
