Reconstruction notes

The palatalization in Old Irish ruithen is irregular, as *e and *ei normally do not palatalize preceding consonants that are preceded by a non-front vowel. The word may have been reshaped to *rutinos in Goidelic, which should regularly yield palatalization.

Descendants

  • Gaulish: *rutēnos (red-haired?)
  • Old Irish: ruithen (ray or beam of light) (with irregular palatalization)
