100 thus moroeẟ ‘seas’ < *mórii̯a: Lat. maria;—Ml. W. gw̯ladoeẟ ‘countries’ < *u̯látii̯es;—dannoeẟ fem. 8 ‘toothache’ < *dántii̯ā;—oeẟ ‘would be, was’ < *´sii̯ēt, § 180 ii (3).

the accent, in the penult the result varies according to the quality of the accented vowel in the (now lost) ultima; thus:

ii̯é > W. ‑i, as in tri ‘three’ m. < *trii̯és (accented like the f.) < Ar. *tréi̯es (f. *tisorés) see § 103 i (3);—W. trefi ‘towns’ < *trebii̯és.

ii̯ī́ > Ml. W. ‑ei, Mn. W. ‑ai, as in W. r͑ei, rhai ‘some’ § 165 vi, carai ‘would love’ § 180 ii (2); cf. nei, nai vii (2).

ii̯ó > W. ‑yw as in rhyw ‘some’ § 165 vi; cf. gwyw vii (3).

iiá > O. W. ‑ai, Ml. and Mn. W. ‑ae, ‑e, also Ml. W. w͡y; as in O. W. guarai, later gwarae, gware, chwarae, chware ‘to play’, Bret. c’hoari, Corn. hwary < Brit. *(s‑)u̯arii̯ā́ < *u̯ₑrii̯- √*u̯erēi § 63 vii (3); a variant is guarvy 50 = gw̯arw͡y.

the accent in the ante-penult the result varies according as the accent fell on the lost ultima, or on the penult.

In the former case the penult had generally a reduced vowel a (< ə or ₑ) ; the combination ‑ii̯a‑´ gave W. ‑aea- (also written aya), O. Bret, ‑oia‑, Bret. ‑oua‑, ‑oa‑. Thus W. claear ‘lukewarm’, Bret. klouar: Gk. χλιαρός (Ar. alternation k / gh);—W. gaeaf, gayaf, Bret. goañv ‘winter’ < *g̑hii̯əmó‑s: Skr. himáḥ, Lith. žëmà, Gk. χειμών, χεῖμα > Lat. hiems: Gaul. Giamon.., Ir. gem-red (e for ia);—W. traean ‘third part’: Ir. trian;—W. rhaeadr ‘cataract’ < *rii̯ə-tró‑: Ir. riathor: Lat. rīvus, √rei̯ā- ‘flow’;—W. daear ‘earth’, Bret. douar < *g̑hðii̯ₑrā § 98 iii.—‑isa- or ‑esa- gives the same result: Pr. Kelt. *isarno- (*is R-grade of *ais: Lat. aes): Gaul. Ysarno- Iserno‑: W. haearn, hayarn ‘iron’, O. W. Gur-haiernn xxiii, O. Bret. hoiarn.

After a labial the above group takes the form ‑w͡ya-
