taidhe

taidhe
attention, heed, Irish uidh, Old Irish oid, óid, con-ói, servat: *audi-, root av, watch, Latin aveo, desire, audeo, dare, Sanskrit av, favour (see àill further). The t of Gaelic is due to the phrase "Thoir taidhe" (= thoir do aidhe) - Take thy heed: a phrase to which the word is practically restricted, and which accounts for the short vowel of the Gaelic and Irish, the sentence accent being on the verb.
