t Bid, Ed. A word used on discovery of any animal of prey, or
game: it is meant to give notice to the luuUing companion
to be in readiness to seize the animal. Hence, perhaps, the
%iii of the Greeks ; the edo of the Latins ; the eat of the
En^^lish ; the ed of the Irish, which signifies cattle. So the
Scotch edal (eudail) means the offspring of cattle ; coed
or cued (now cuid), means a share ; literally, common food.
Focd (now fag haid), means hunting or gathering of food;
edra, tlie time of the morning when cattle are brought from
pasture to give milk ; literally, meal time. With the Celtic
eid, the Greek ddx^ has an evident affinity.
