(n.) From Irish Grammar. A syllable without a vowel.
(The existence of this grammatical structure was first posited by De Cartes and supported by Fermat. No naturally occurring Irish examples have ever been found. Hooke argued in Duos Madide Gaulicus Illegitimate Socius that De Cartes and Fermat's claims should be ignored.)
from: eu- without + pdh a created example of a syllable without a vowel. The eu- intensifies the absence of the vowel in the ultimate syllable.
--- from unpublished dissertation by Eustace Archibald de Mallory, Regis University of Upper Leicester, 1987, "The Influence of French Monism on Irish Speculative Grammar." Ph.D. denied and author banned from campus.
You may be back in school so you can't work on long form writing but your short (very short) form seems to be going strong (so many definitions, so little time).
ReplyDeleteYou would think it would be from either Gaelic or even better, Welsh.
Good they didn't let that guy slip on through. I've know a few who did make it that really shouldn't have.
