Old Irish Reflex Index
Below we list 372 unique Old Irish reflex spellings (words and affixes) in an
alphabetic order suitable for the language family. Every spelling is linked to one
or more pages, each showing a Proto-Indo-European etymon from which the reflex is
derived along with other reflexes (in Old Irish or other languages) derived from
the same PIE etymon. A multi-morpheme reflex may, like English werewolf, be
derived from multiple PIE etyma; or a single spelling may, like English bear
or lie, represent multiple reflexes derived from different PIE etyma.
Note: this page is for systems/browsers
with Unicode® support and fonts spanning the Unicode 3 character set relevant to Indo-European languages.
