-tid

-tid tid TID tið tíd tíð tiþ Welsh Alternative forms cy -did Etymology From cy wlm -tit, from cy cel-bry-pro *-tid, from cy cel-pro *-tūss (stem cel-pro *-tūt-; compare sga -tu), from cy ine-pro *-tuHts (whence la -tūs abstract noun and got -𐌳𐌿𐌸𐍃 -dūþs). Pronunciation cy /tɪd/ Usage notes /tɪd/ and /dɪd/ are variants of the same suffix. /tɪd/ (phonetically [tʰɪd]) is always spelt cy -tid whereas /dɪd/ would, in theory, be represented by cy -tid after an unvoiced fricative (phonetically [tɪd]) and by cy -did after other voiced sounds (phonetically [dɪd]). /dɪd/, however, does not at present occur in any Welsh words after an unvoiced fricative. Suffix cy suffix forming abstract nouns, -ness, -ment cy ieuanc young ieuenctid youth Usage notes -did causes i-affection of internal vowels. Derived terms cy References
