Etymology

Lua error: The template Template:PIE root does not use the parameter(s):
2=wel
Please see Module:checkparams for help with this warning.

(deprecated template usage)

From Proto-Celtic *wele (see!), the imperative of Proto-Celtic *weleti (see), from Proto-Indo-European *wel- (see), compare Welsh gweled (to see). Semantic development from "see!" to "there is" is parallel to that of French voici, from vois ci (see here) and voilà, from vois là (see there).

Pronunciation

Verb

·fil

  1. present progressive conjunct of at·tá
    • c. 800, Würzburg Glosses on the Pauline Epistles, published in Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus (reprinted 1987, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), edited and with translations by Whitley Stokes and John Strachan, vol. I, pp. 499–712, Wb. 19c20

In the conjunct form, the logical subject appears in the accusative (or as an infixed object pronoun) in the oldest language. Examples: nícon·ḟil nach rainn (there is no part), nín·fil (we are not), condib·feil (so that you pl are).
