Middle Annerish

Etymology

A suppletive paradigm consisting of three different roots:

  • Past: from the sparcely attested Old Annerish ⟨ro·fóed⟩, ⟨ros·foéḋ⟩ (with infixed pronoun -s-), seemingly from *edaną, though cf.: possibly original ⟨ro·foír⟩ from *fra-wēzi-.

Pronunciation

(Annerish) IPA: /biːr͈ʲ/ [biˑɘ̯ɹ]

Verb/ Noun

bírr (runic:ᛓᛁᚱ)

  1. (countable) A table for eating
  2. (+bıth) To eat, consume as food

Usage notes

  • Annt urar myr bıth ın gıogrann! - Can we have the barnacle stew, please! / Roıd í at bıth. - She ate it.(lit.: Ate she her ᴘᴀʀᴛ.)

vs. Tá myr gat bírre bıth. - We are eating it (lit.: We are at her eating)
