maidid
Old Irish
Etymology
From Proto-Celtic *madyeti (“to break”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂d- (“to drip, ooze; grease, fat”), though the semantic connection is difficult.[1] The reduplicated preterite and future stems in meb- /mʲev-/ are dissimilated from mem- /mʲeṽ-/.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈmaðʲiðʲ/
Verb
maidid (conjunct ·maid, ·maith or ·moith, verbal noun maidm)
- (intransitive) to break, to burst
- (impersonal, with ré + the person defeating and/or for + the person being defeated) to defeat, to rout
