Old Irish
Etymology 1
Kortlandt believes this particle to be a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase beginning with *ol est. In particular, he derives the inflected form olsí from a contraction of a Proto-Celtic phrase *ol est ēgt, with *ēgt deriving from *h₁eǵ- (“to say”). Its ending was reinterpreted as the feminine singular pronoun sí, giving rise to the analogical masculine form olsé.[1]
