This is part of the first systematic study of the formation of
non-compound nouns and adjectives in Old and Middle Irish. It is
divided into three sections: I. primary stem-formations; II.
derivation via suffixation; III. other derivation modes. The
analysis is both synchronic (inner-Irish) and diachronic (Celtic,
Indo-Germanic) throughout and presents new findings of interest not
least for the historical study of the phonology and morphology of
Irish. It also charts new avenues for the description of
word-formation in a corpus language. The analysis is based on a
corpus of several thousand words whose etymologies have been
verified.
