B
letter [etym. unrecorded]
1: second letter in the Irish alphabet, and the first
consonant of the Ogam alphabet. Irish name [beithe]
birch, [hence beithe luis, name of Ogam alphabet];
2.0: b in absolute initial position, after
[m] (imb), and sometimes after [l] (Albu)
and [r] (orbae) represents the voiced labial plosive
and derives from IE *b, *bh and *gw;
2.1: in other positions it represents the voiced labial fricative
bh and derives from (i)the sources already mentioned,
together with *p in IE *-pr-, *-pl- (accabor, díabul) and (ii)from
IE *u in certain positions (tarb, cubus etc.) it
is possible however that the sound in case (ii) was not phonetically
identical with that in case (i), since they sometimes have different
sandhi treatment, compare dupall (dub-ball) with atrefea (atreb-fea)
and derbráthair, modern dearbhráthair (derbbráthair); compare also
ropia (ro-b-bia) and in gairpeann[from garbh +
peann];
3: bb in all positions represents the unlentied sound [abb, abbán];
4: in latin loanwords initial b- remains (baithis,
baitsid) Ir. b- sometimes represents Lat. p- (bóc) and medial -b-
-p-, representing a voiced plosive, Lat. -p- (puball
s.v. pupall, abstal);
5: The Lat. post-vocalic voiced stop -b- became in
Irish a voiced fricative (scríb(a)id, scríobhaidh.;
6: for -b- for Lat -f- [cobais] see;
7: in later lang b combines with prec. m (Mid. Ir
imm for imb), and initial mr, ml,
become br-, bl- (brath, bláith for older mrath,
mláith), medial lenited b and m are sometimes confused (mebuir for
memuir).
