Irish

Etymology 1

From Old Irish tíagu, téigi, téit (I go, you go, (s)he goes). Ulster Irish preserves the irregular third singular as téid or théid.

The past forms independant chuaigh and dependant deachaigh are from Old Irish do·coïd and Old Irish ·dechuid ((s)he went), respectively the deuterotonic and prototonic forms of augmented preterite of téit.

The future and conditional stems rach-/ragh- are from regaid ((s)he will go).
