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).
