Prefix

Forms: ceta- [pretonic], no-table-tags [table-tags], cét- [error-unrecognized-form], chét- [error-unrecognized-form], cét-
Etymology: A conflation of two prefixes. * The usual prefix meaning "first" is essentially a prefixed stem form of Proto-Celtic *kentus (“first”), from Proto-Indo-European *ken- (“to begin”). See also the related cétnae (“first”). * A different prefix meaning "with", attested in only two or so word families, is from Proto-Celtic *kanta, derives from Proto-Indo-European *ḱóm (“with”), and is cognate with Welsh gan (“with”) and Ancient Greek κατά (katá, “against, downwards”).
