No. 2. Ir. ath 'vadum' is non-existent. The word meant is dth. This
is not a misprint.
No. 6. Ir. tuitim 'to fall' {= ' do-fo-inlimhi) is compared with zcTVYjixt,
an obvious clérical error for Tuiivéto. Hère W. might hâve added the
(reduplicated ?) 5-forms taeth, taiîhis, dofaethsad (so common in Middle-
Irish) and the noun tuisel 'casus' = "do-fo-pit-tcla.
No. 10. The Ir. adjective il 'multus' (ace. pi. /7m LL. 77. a. 2; 78.
b. 2) is an u-stem, like fila, xoXuç, paru, and not, as W. says, an
/-stem.
No, 1 1. The last syllable of Ir. cum-al 1) 'ancilla', Corm. Tr. 42, 2)
'pretium ancillae', is hère connected with Lith. peinas, Skr. pana, Lat.
pretium. It seems to me that W. has hère mistaken the root for a prefix
and the suffix for a root. The root is KAM in v.iix-vM etc., the suffix
-al is ïor -alâ. For the double meaning of ciimal compare ancilla in Du-
cange's Glossary.
No. 1 5. Ir. inn-uraid (not asW. wntes in-uraid) , Corm. Tr. 97, means
'last year'.
No. 18. a-îôlam (not as W. séparâtes, at-ôlam) means h Y.xzy.v.'k\)G[j.6q.
The 0. Ir. 61 'potus' hère cited belongs (like pana, tm[xci., pôtas) to the
root PA, rather than to the root PAR.
No. 23. The length of the e in the prefix ér- (== pari) is simply due
to its preceding (in the examples cited) two consonants — seeG. C.^ 26,
864, 870 — and is not owing to any « eindringen des ursprùnglich
auslautenden /. »
No. 27. The form foaid 'sopiebat' isjust as regular as the form -foad:
one is the absolute, the other the suffixed, form of the 3d sg. 2dy près,
active.
