lingid
Old Irish
Etymology
Said by Matasović to come from Proto-Celtic *lengeti, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁lengʷʰ- (“light; move lightly”).[1] However, the reduplicated preterite leblaing appears to come from a Proto-Celtic *ɸle-ɸlang-, suggesting a different PIE root beginning with p. Thurneysen suggests a connection with either Ancient Greek πλίσσομαι (plíssomai, “to stride out”) (from *pleygʰ-/pleyǵʰ-) or Old Church Slavonic плѧсати (plęsati, “to dance”) (from *plenḱ-); in either case lingid would have to have been influenced in form by cingid (“to step”).[2]
