v According to Baumgarten,
Ériu xxxiv 190
, the citations here belong to two separate verbs: 1 do-feid (< di-fed-)
leads, escorts (from one point to another); leads to; brings about
, for which see the examples under (a), (c) and (d), and 2 do-feid (< to-fed-) takes precedence over, for which see the examples under (b). Also do-feid
brings, leads
. In pret. and perf. this vb.
is easily confused with do-foídi sends and do-feth (*to-feth-,
*to-fo-eth); the 3 s. pret.
dofaith,
Hy. ii 39.47
is by
Pedersen Vgl. Gr. ii 514
referred to *to-fo-eth-, but by editors of Thes. treated as a
trans. vb. (reading dafáith
, dafáid).
