gaist

Etymology
The origin of this word is unclear. If, as has been proposed, is connected to dialectal 🇨🇬,, then its original meaning could have been “to blow, to breathe,” perhaps from  (whence also 🇨🇬 “to extinguish, to quench”; q.v.): its length grade  would become , with o grade , from which  “to blow” → “to disappear with the wind,” “to vanish.” Another suggestion links  to ; yet another, to 🇨🇬. Cognates include 🇨🇬.
