"seinnid" meaning in Old Irish

See seinnid in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /sʲen͈ʲəðʲ/, [sʲen͈ʲiðʲ]
Etymology: From a conflation of two verbs due to the Irish merger of word-initial *sw- and *s-. * The meaning "to play a musical instrument" derives from Proto-Celtic *swannati, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *swenh₂-. The conjugation is derived entirely from *swannati; the labial consonants in the middle of the reduplicated preterite and future stems are regular, as medial -sw- generally lenited into them. * The meaning "to strike" is from Proto-Celtic *sannati, from Proto-Indo-European *senh₂- (“to reach, attain”). The expected preterite reduplication, *siann- ← *se-sann-, was supplanted by that of *swannati. However, the original formation survives in the fossilized defective verb do·coissin (“to exist”) (← dī-kom-sesanne).
