Northern Kurdish

Etymology

Compare Turkish yol (way, road),[1] similar to tariqa and rêç (path), rêûresm (ceremony), rêbaz (method), etc. Compare oldaş (friend, companion) (from yoldaş). Originally only limited to Êzdi jargon term for "sect, cult" to refer to the Adawi order. It was popularized in the 90s favored over the native dîn to mean "religion" in Northern Kurdish media in an assumption that this word is "more Kurdish", as opposed to the native one which is the exact same of Turkish din; therefore a false attempt of purism.

Old Irish

Etymology 1

    Kortlandt believes this particle to be a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase beginning with *ol est. In particular, he derives the inflected form olsí from a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase *ol est ēgt, with *ēgt deriving from *h₁eǵ- (to say). Its ending was reinterpreted as the feminine singular pronoun , giving rise to the analogical masculine form olsé.[1]

    Usage notes

    This particle is used after or interrupting a quotation, either in an inflected form or followed by the identity of who is speaking.
