of the neut. poss. pron. cf. 252, 374.
do-rérachtid, do-r-réractid, fr. di-n-ro-ess-rechtid :
see do-érig.
252. fris-comartatar,fr.fris-n-com-ortatar:seefris-oirg.
con dodsitis, fr. co n-todsitis : see do-tuit. In O. Ir. an
initial tenuis was subject to ecHpsis as in Mod. Ir. ; but such
eclipsis was rarely expressed in writing. For con dodsitis, co
dodsitis would be the correct orthography, for the ecUpsing n
disappeared in the process.
253. atam-roipred, fr. ad-dam-ro-oss-breth : see ad-
opair.
257. ro lil : see lenaid. -dechuid : see téit (Paradigms).

262. ru chét. The aspiration is irregular as the verb is not
properly relative. See note on 7.
263. do-roígaid : see do-goa.
265. fris-racacha, fr. fris-ró-ad-cecha. The correspond-
ing prototonic form is ru frescacha, fr. ro fris-ad-cecha.
See fris-acci. Observe that in the prototonic form of this com-
pound ro- shifts backward to the beginning, similarly imme-
ruidbed, ro imdibed, 286. In other compounds, again, such
as -déirgni the prototonic form of do-rigeni, ro- maintains
its position. The latter represents the older, the former the
later, principle.
267. ad-id-géuin. According to Pedersen,' which knows the
aforementioned hnowledge (i. e. which has such hnowledge) : cf . note
' KZ. XXXV. 403.
