Old Irish

Etymology

(deprecated template usage)

From Proto-Celtic *ɸiteti, from Proto-Indo-European *peyt-; the future stem is from *ɸiɸitsāti. Cognate with Old Church Slavonic питѣти (pitěti, “nourish”) and Sanskrit पितु (pitú, “food”).

The perfect forms are from dí- +‎ fo- + Proto-Celtic *āde, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁e-h₁od-e; and the subjunctive forms are from Proto-Celtic *ess-, s-subjunctive stem of *ed-.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈiθʲiðʲ/

Verb

ithid (verbal noun ithe)

1. to eat
   • c. 800–825, Diarmait, Milan Glosses on the Psalms, published in Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus (reprinted 1987, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), edited and with translations by Whitley Stokes and John Strachan, vol. I, pp. 7–483, Ml. 102^a15

     Itius anúas ⁊ dus·claid anís; air ní foircnea in fíni hithe neich di anúas, amal du·ngní int aīs sechmaill as·mbeir-som .i. air is cuit adaill ad·n-ellat-sidi in fíni du thabairt neich doib dia thorud.

     They eat it from above and he roots it up from below; for it does not exterminate the vine to eat of anything of it from above, as do the passers-by whom he speaks of, i.e. for it is only a passing visit that they make [lit: ‘that they visit’] to the vine to take something for themselves of its fruit.
