sluindid
Old Irish
Etymology
Disputed. There are two main theories.[1]
- The majority opinion derives the verb from Proto-Celtic *sɸlondīti, itself said to be from Proto-Indo-European *spln̥d-eh₁- (“to be manifest”). The verb is often connected with Latin splendeō (“to shine”).
- Another theory listed derives the verb from Proto-Celtic *stlondīti, connecting it with Middle Welsh cystlwn (“kindred”), Old Welsh istlinnit (“speaks out”), and Middle Breton stlen (“declared”) instead. This etymology has no known cognates outside of Celtic.
