# doléici
## Old Irish
### Alternative forms

* do·léci

### Etymology

From to- +‎ léicid. The e appearing in the prototonic forms is irregular. The deuterotonic forms in do·f- come from a reinterpretation of the prototonic forms. Pedersen assigns the forms in do·f- to a separate lemma do·failci from to- + ad- + léicid, but many of the forms he adduces are actually from do·áilgi (“to soothe, cherish”).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: [doˈl͈ʲeːɡʲi]

### Verb

do·léici (prototonic ·teilci or ·tailci, verbal noun teilciud)
* to let, allow
* to throw, fling, hurl
