Headword

@Mahagaja, shouldn’t this be rather moved either to molaid (as that’s the attested absolute form, as it is in eDIL) or to molaithir (I believe this is the expected absolute 3rd.sg. form, although unattested: that is the base form given in Stifter’s Sengoídelc but he claims that no absolute 3.sg. form of this verb class – W1 deponent – is attested). Even this article itself doesn’t list the form *molaidir anywhere except for the headword itself. // Silmeth ^@talk 21:01, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

@Silmethule: Well, the attested form is actually molid. We could make that the lemma entry, but doing so would seem to me to deny that the verb is usually deponent in Old Irish. As for the ending of the deponent form, -idir and -ithir both occur with about equal frequency, so the current entry and molaithir are just as good as each other. —Mahāgaja · talk 21:21, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
