Commentary

Corresponds to Lat. quem dedit in the only attestation. Analysis based on Koch 1983: 187 f., who compares OIr. formations and segments the form into preverb to- + infixed pronoun + prefective preverb kon- + stem + ending. In the verbal stem ded-, the reduplicating syllable is suppressed following two preverbs (Eska 1990: 88); on the form and function of the proleptic infixed pronoun -stom- in the accusative and with apheresis see Eska 1990b: 193–195 and Eska 2001, and cf. iśos. See also Pisani 1979: 50 f., DLG: 299, Villar & Prósper 2005: 205, Eska 2004: 869, Eska 2007: 191 f., Stifter 2010: 370, Stifter 2014: 207, Uhlich 2007: 388, n. 34. Alternative interpretations in Meid 1989: 14–16. Already Lejeune 1977: 600.
