"enech" meaning in Old Irish

See enech in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From a compound of *h₁én (“in”) and *h₃ekʷ- (“eye”). The Proto-Celtic noun is usually reconstructed as *enīkʷom, but Matasović departs from the norm to reconstruct *enekʷom instead, leaving the raising in the dative inchaib unexplained. Oddly, the n seems to be unpalatalized in the Milan glosses, even though its palatalisation is both expected and more amply attested elsewhere.
