Old Irish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]A verb with a normally simple etymology but complicated by an irregular preterite.
- Most forms are from Proto-Celtic *sedeti, from Proto-Indo-European *sed-, with an analogical vocalism taking after laigid.[1][2]
- The deponent preterite forms, such as síasair, are subject to controversy. Thurneysen on the one hand believed it is a blend of an s-preterite and a reduplicated preterite, i.e. a reduplicated s-preterite.[3] McCone and Matasović on the other hand believe that they are suppletive and originally belonged to Proto-Celtic *sistati, which itself is derived from Proto-Indo-European *stísteh₂ti.[4][5]
- The perfect forms, in contrast, are not suppletive despite their irregular augments (dí- + in-) and preserve the old preterite of Proto-Celtic *sedeti, *sāde in any case.

Inflection
[edit]The preterite is reduplicated, while the perfect is from an á-preterite formation obscured in the plural by analogical palatalization.
