From Proto-Celtic*wedonā, an unusual double-thematic formation in -o-nā. Two other basic verbal nouns, mlegon(“milking”) (from *mlig-o-nos) and orcun(“slaying”) (from *org-e-nā) also have double-thematic *-V-no/ā- formations. Their closest parallels are Proto-Germanic*-aną and past participles in *-anaz, in addition to Slavic past passive participles in original -enъ.[1]
