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;

Imperative and Irrealis: from Proto-Germanic *wesaną, extended with deponent endings;

(Annerish) IPA: /biːr͈ʲ/ [b̥iˑɘ̯ɹ]

bírr (runic:ᛓᛁᚱ)

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:

Ná 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.)
