Contionary:mes

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;
Irrealis: 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-.
