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-;
  • Narrative and conditional: a merger of ar·beir and for·beir borrowed from Goidelic, reanalysed after the common noun, itself from an unknown source;

   for similar development cf. Icelandic borða.

Pronunciation

(Annerish) IPA: /biːr͈ʲ/ [b̥iˑɘ̯ɹ]

Verb/ Noun

bírr (runic:ᛓᛁᚱ)

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

Usage notes

This is one of a handful of verbs with intransitive morphology and transitive meaning that take a direct object in a genitive construct with bıth:

  • fuar at bıth! - Don't eat it! (lit.: Don't eat her bıth.)
  • Mí ım bírre bıth baırgeàın. - I'm eating a piece of bread. (lit.: I'm in=my eating bıth of=a=bread-piece.)
  • Roıd síb bıth ın gıogrann. - You ate the the barnacle stew. (lit.: Eaten you're.ᴘʟ bıth of=the barnacle-stew.)
