According to {{bib|Schmidt 1986b}}: 177 f. and {{bib|Eska 1990}}, the Continental Celtic ''t''-preterite continues the PIE imperfect formed from present stems in *-''i̯''- (*-(''e'')''i̯e''/''o-t''), which were recharacterised as past by adding the perfect endings {{m||-e}} or {{m||-u}} after the loss of final -''i'' in Celtic made them formally identical to the present forms.

Commentary

Weak t-preterite in the 3rd person singular in -e; first identfied as a verb form by Whatmough PID: 554.

According to Schmidt 1986b: 177 f. and Eska 1990, the Continental Celtic t-preterite continues the PIE imperfect formed from present stems in -- (*-(e)i̯e/o-t), which were recharacterised as past by adding the perfect endings -e or after the loss of final -i in Celtic made them formally identical to the present forms. See also Lejeune 1971: 92–96, Eska & Mercado 2005: 165, Eska & Evans 2009: 37, Eska 2009b: 112. The rationale underlying the distribution of -e and is unclear; cf. (uncertain) kalite for an identical formation.

The etymology and exact meaning of the base are uncertain. Pisani 1953: 272 (also Pisani 1964: 285) proposed *ker- 'make' (LIV²: 391 f.) with delabialised velar (cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1967: 19–21 with n. 14, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 141, 167, Motta 2002: 131 (who derives karnitu from the same root), but unlikely, see Eska & Mercado 2005: 164). Lejeune 1971: 90 f. suggests PIE *ĝher- 'grasp, enclose' (but cf. LIV²: 177, 197) → *gr̥-i̯e-t > *garit + e, cf. Schmidt 1986b: 177, Meid 1999: 14, Eska & Mercado 2005: 164 f. Eska & Mercado 2005: 165 alternatively propose PIE *kerH- 'scatter, pour out' → 'put' (as in OIr. ·cuirethar, fo·ceird 'put', see LIV²: 353 f.; cf. Hamp 1991b: 36), cf. θomezeclai.
