(4) This seems to come from Vgene- 'cause to be, give birth to', of which the pf. was sg. i. *gegona, 3. *gegone : Skr. i.jajdna, ^.jajana, Gk. i. yeyova. Whether the two roots are originally the same has not been decided. If the original meaning was something like ' to be efficient', it might have become i. ' to produce, give birth to', 2. 'be master of, understand '.
(5) Ml. W. digawn, Mn. "W. digon ' enough ' may have originated in phrases such as digawn hynny ' that will do ' understood as ' that [is] enough ' ; cf. digawn a Sodet yman K.M. 14. From digon ' enough ' a new verb was made in Mn. W., digonaf, v.n. digoni ' to suffice '.

tycia is a denom. from twg : Vteua x -, see 111 v (2); but the -c- in the pres. is caused by the -h- of -ha.
vi. Ml. W. deiryt R.P. 1197 'pertains, is related' foil, by y 'to' ; impf. deirydei s.G. 105. Mn. W. deiryd L.G.C. 272, Gr.O. 47. A 'r lludw gorff, lie daw y gyt, YV lludw arall lie deiryt. G.V., B.P. 1299.
' And [I commend] the body of dust, where it will all come, to the other dust where it belongs.'
The last syll. -yt may be the 3rd sg. mid. ending 179 iii (i) ; this would explain the limitation of the vb. to the 3rd sg. In that case deirydei is a re-formation, and the prefix and stem are devr- < *do-gr- ; the root may be *gher- 'hold' (:Lat. co-Aors); thus deiryt from
- do-ghretai ' holds himself to '.
