Northern Kurdish

edit

Etymology

edit

From Turkish yol (“way, road”), similar to tariqa and rêç (“path”), rêûresm (“ceremony”), rêbaz (“method”), etc. Compare oldaş (“friend, companion”) (from yoldaş). Originally only limited to Êzdi jargon term for "sect, cult" to refer to the Adawi order. It was popularized in the 90s favored over the native dîn to mean "religion" in Northern Kurdish media in an assumption that this word is "more Kurdish", as opposed to the native one which is the exact same of Turkish din.

On a lesser possibility, or perhaps now conflated with it, is an earlier *ord, a New Iranic development of *erd meaning "order"; akin to asha and rta. For the sound change compare Middle Persian 𐭠𐭥𐭲𐭥𐭧𐭱𐭲𐭩 (Ardwahišt) and Persian اردیبهشت (Ordibehešt).

Old Irish

edit

Etymology 1

edit

Kortlandt believes this particle to be a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase beginning with *ol est. In particular, he derives the inflected form olsí from a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase *ol est ēgt, with *ēgt deriving from *h₁eǵ- (“to say”). Its ending was reinterpreted as the feminine singular pronoun sí, giving rise to the analogical masculine form olsé.[1]
