"to-" meaning in Proto-Celtic

See to- in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Prefix

Etymology: Unknown. Dunkel gives two suggestions, either Proto-Indo-European *tó (“to, towards”), but there are no clear cognates, or PIE *tó (“then”), compare Hittite [script needed] (ta-, “then”, connective particle). Matasović's derivation from PIE *tó- (pronoun) is plausible neither semantically nor morphologically, because the stem *tó- was otherwise completely replaced by *só- in Celtic. Etymology templates: {{unk|cel-pro}} Unknown, {{m+|ine-pro|*tó|t=to, towards}} Proto-Indo-European *tó (“to, towards”), {{m+|hit||pos=connective particle|t=then|tr=ta-}} Hittite [script needed] (ta-, “then”, connective particle) Head templates: {{head|cel-pro|prefix}} *to-
