"demin" meaning in Old Irish

See demin in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [ˈdʲeβ̃ʲinʲ]
Etymology: From Proto-Celtic *demenis (“certain”), of disputed origin. MacBain derives it from Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₁men- (“that which is established”), while Pedersen derives it from Proto-Celtic *dī- + a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to change”), thus ‘unchangeable’.
