Proto-Celtic

Etymology

[edit]

Usually derived from Proto-Indo-European *pr̥h₃-snéh₂, from *perh₃- (to grant), related to Latin pars (part).[1][2][3] Matasovic suggests that the short *a could be the result of Dybo's law, or perhaps "liquid metathesis".[4] Vasmer connects it with Proto-Indo-European *h₂rey- (to count, arrange).[5]
