Etymology
1. From to- + in- + com- + seichid (“to declare”). Its original form was something like *do·inchosaig (compare in·coisig) which led to the t-preterite encountered in the poems of Blathmac due to the influence of saigid and aigid, which both had t-preterites.
2. The lenition instead of nasalisation of the combination of in- and com- is due to the prefix in- coming from both Proto-Celtic *en- and *eni- variants; *eni- caused lenition while *en- caused nasalisation. See tecosc for a nasalised doublet.
