Middle Annerish
Etymology
A suppletive paradigm consisting of three different roots:
- Present stem: from a merger of Goidelic ar·beir and for·beir, reanalysed after the common noun, itself from an unknown source; for similar development cf. Icelandic borða;
- Irrealis and imperative: from prefixed Proto-Germanic *wesaną, extended with deponent endings;
- 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:ᛁᛕᛁᛧ)
- (countable) A table for eating
- (+ bıth) To eat, consume as food
Usage notes
A semantically transitive verb with intransitive morphology, which takes a direct object in the genitive after bıth:
- Roıd myr bıth gıogrann - We had barnacle stew.
As a particle itself, bıth cannot be modified by a possessive clitic and requires the emphatic form:
- Mí ım bírre bıth aíse - I am eating it (lit.: I'm in my eating ᴘᴀʀᴛ. hers).
