Old Irish

Etymology

After Witczak, from Proto-Celtic *eɸros (“boar”), from Proto-Indo-European *(h₁)epros (“boar”), with the n- arising from rebracketing of the demonstrative-final n in accusative *ton eɸron, i.e. overgeneralisation of the nasal mutation.[1] Cognate with Proto-Germanic *eburaz, Latin aper, and (with a prefix) Proto-Slavic *veprь. Witczak rejects Pokorny's derivation from Proto-Celtic *nero- (“hero”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂nḗr (“man, male”).
