beatha

beatha
life, so Irish Old Irish bethu, g. bethad, Celtic stem bitât-, divided into bi-tât; See bith (i.e. bi-tu-) for root. It is usual for philologists to represent the stem of beatha as bivotât, that is bi-vo-tât-, the bi-vo- part being the same as the stem bivo of beò. While the root bi is common to both beatha and beò, the former does not contain -vo-; it is the Old Irish nom. beothu (*bi-tûs) that has set philologists wrong. Hence Gaelic and Irish beathach, animal. Irish beathadhach, dial. of beathach.
