lingid

Old Irish

Etymology

Said by Matasović to come from Proto-Celtic *lengeti, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁lengʷʰ- (light; move lightly).[1] However, the reduplicated preterite leblaing appears to come from a Proto-Celtic *ɸle-ɸlang-, suggesting a different PIE root beginning with p. Thurneysen suggests a connection with either Ancient Greek πλίσσομαι (plíssomai, to stride out) (from *pleygʰ-/pleyǵʰ-) or Old Church Slavonic плѧсати (plęsati, to dance) (from *plenḱ-); in either case lingid would have to have been influenced in form by cingid (to step).[2]

A more modern theory suggests that a cognate of Proto-Germanic *springaną that was conflated with *lengeti may be the source of the that surfaces in the reduplicated forms.[3]
