doinchoisc

From to- +‎ in- +‎ com- +‎ seichid (“to declare”). Its original form was something like *do·inchosaig (compare in·coisig) which led to the t-preterite encountered in the poems of Blathmac due to the influence of saigid and aigid, which both had t-preterites.^[1]

The lenition instead of nasalisation of the combination of in- and com- is due to the prefix in- coming from both Proto-Celtic *en- and *eni- variants; *eni- caused lenition while *en- caused nasalisation.^[2] See tecosc for a nasalised doublet.
