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 *-i̯- (*-(e)i̯e/o-t), which were recharacterised as past by adding the perfect endings -e or -u 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.
The etymology and exact meaning of the base are uncertain. Pisani 1953: 272 (also Pisani 1964: 285) proposed *ku̯er- '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 + 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. θomezeclai; cf. Hamp 1991b: 36.
