Middle Annerish
Etymology 1
Superficially similar to Goidelic cía, but Teagan argues for a derivation from the verb below.
Pronunciation
(Annerish) IPA: /kˠɑ/ [kʰɑ]
Particle
ca (runic:ᚷᚭ)
- Introduces "wh-" questions:
- Cà se? - What is this?
- Càırse? Càırsí? - Who is that? Who is she?
- Ca toıde tàr se? - What does it mean?
- Fronts a relative argument:
- Ca toıde a tháır se, ar déa na mırphell. - What it means is that they are in a predicament.
Etymology 2
Per Bernthaler from Germanic *haitaną with influence from Goidelic caí ("laments"); if so, doublet of hét.
Pronunciation
(Annerish) IPA: /kˠɑː/ [kʰɑˑ]
Verb
cà (runic:ᚷᚭ)
- (intr.; +ᴠᴏᴄ.) To be called; one's name is …
- Only ɪᴍᴘᴇʀꜰ. (ɴᴀʀ.) and ᴘʀᴇᴛ. forms are attested
- cechat or cıchet
- cá (cà), cáım, cáıdí
- Only ɪᴍᴘᴇʀꜰ. (ɴᴀʀ.) and ᴘʀᴇᴛ. forms are attested
ɴ.ʙ.
The first edition of the Bésgnae Béırle coined the verbal noun cás by analogy with bás;
Since both ᴘʀᴇᴛ. and ꜰᴜᴛ. can be formed by reduplication, ᴘᴀss. ɪʀʀ. cıcher and ᴄᴏɴᴅ. cıchır were given by the institution but are seldom seen in practice.
