Proto-Celtic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]A former participle of a verb *tonkīti, whence also related verbs in Old Irish ro·toicther (“to be destined”) and Middle Welsh tynghaf tyghet (“I destine destiny”). Schumacher derives this from Proto-Indo-European *tenk- (“to solidify”),[1] though Matasovic prefers to derive this from the homophonous Proto-Indo-European *tenk- (“to be suitable, prosper”), whence Proto-Germanic *þinhaną (“to thrive”).[2]
