ailid
From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Etymology
From Proto-Celtic *aleti, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂életi. Cognate with Middle Welsh alu (“bear young”), Latin alō (“I feed, nourish”), Old English alan (“to nourish”).
The future stem has eb- extracted from reduplicated futures like ebarthi (“will grant it”) (from Proto-Celtic *ɸiɸrāti) and ·ebla¹ (“will drive”) (from Proto-Celtic *ɸiɸlāti) and reinterpreted as a future marker.[1]
