Proto-Celtic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws.
Noun
*dyīus m
Inflection
The following paradigm is mostly derived from Hamp (1975), namely stage 2 (early Celtic) of his chronology.[1] His stages afterwards into the attested Insular Celtic forms are rather implausible though. Schrijver reconstructs *dyem for the accusative singular[2] instead of Hamp's *dyīm.
