  • Middle Irish: tidlaicid
    • Irish: tíolaic (to convey, dedicate, grant)
  • Middle Irish: tindlaicid

Variant forms without the initial t- also exist, which come from conflation of this verb with idnaicid/idlaicid, from unattested *ind·anich.[1] The l in these forms is due to dissimilation of /n͈(d)n͈/ to /n͈l͈/.
