Old Irish

Etymology

From oc +‎ ·bí (habitual present of at·tá (to be)). Compounds of that verb were often confused with those from benaid (to strike) in early Irish, leading to stem-final -n- in some present forms.

The m in prototonic forms appears to be due to interference from the prefix com-.
