Suffix [Proto-Celtic]

Etymology: The form and etymology of this suffix appearing in personal names is difficult to determine. * Joseph, reconstructing *-dek-, argues for an origin in Proto-Indo-European *deḱ- (“to serve”). * Stifter, finding the palatalization in genitive singular Luigdech inexplicable otherwise, favours *-dik-, from Proto-Indo-European *deyḱ- (“to point”).
