Description
Abstract (cited)
Middle Welsh poetry and proverbs display a number of absolute forms of the 3rd singular present and preterite indicative in -(h)id, -(h)yd, and -(h)awwd which are – with four possible exceptions in Culhwch ac Olwen – absent from Middle Welsh prose. Complementing earlier work by Rodway, this study aims to determine to what extent the forms present in early Middle Welsh gnomic poetry represent an intact absolute/conjunct distinction (as known from Old Irish), and to what extent they were archaisms used for stylistic reasons or to meet metrical requirements.
