See o dan in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Preposition

IPA: /ɔˈdan/ Forms: dan [alternative]
Etymology: From Middle Welsh a dan, from Old Welsh guotan. Reanalyzed in modern Welsh as o (“of, from”) + tan (“under”), but the first element is not actually o (“from”), but instead it was in reality Proto-Celtic *uɸo (“under”), which outside of o dan went extinct in Brittonic as a free-standing preposition. Etymology templates: {{inh|cy|wlm|a dan}} Middle Welsh a dan, {{inh|cy|owl|guotan}} Old Welsh guotan, {{compound|cy|o|tan|gloss1=of, from|gloss2=under}} o (“of, from”) + tan (“under”), {{der|cy|cel-pro|*uɸo|t=under}} Proto-Celtic *uɸo (“under”) Head templates: {{head|cy|preposition|triggers soft mutation on a following noun}} o dan (triggers soft mutation on a following noun)
