| Notes: | This stem is known not only as a single verb, but the element of the Proto-Indo-European combination *kerd-dhe'- (heart to put) which acquired the meaning 'to believe' in many branches: Latin credo (I believe), Old Irish cretim, Irish creidim, Welsh credu, Sanskrit crad-dadhami, etc. Though in Celtic languages there is no pure stem left of this verb, the combination was preserved. |
