Middle Annerish

Etymology

A suppletive paradigm consisting of three different roots:

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

   for similar development cf. Icelandic borða;

  • 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

The non-present has intransitive morphology and takes a direct object in a genitive construct with bıth:

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

vs. No bírr tae gıogran bıth? - Do you not eat barnacle stew? / Tó mé ot bírre bıth. - I'm eating it. (lit.: Am I at her eating ᴘᴀʀᴛ.)
