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.
