Abstract (cited)
[FR] Note sur le gaul. duti, Chartres A7, B9L’auteur tente d’expliquer la morphologie et l’étymologie du gaulois *duti (Chartres A7, B9) en le mettant en rapport avec le mot protoslave *dűma, tout aussi problématique. En s’appuyant sur le rôle syntaxique de la forme gauloise au début de deux phrases gauloises identiques au niveau de la structure, l’auteur considère la forme *duti comme un nom d’action féminin en *-ti-. Avec le mot protoslave *dűma «(acte de) parler, réfléchir», ce dernier étant vraisemblablement un dérivé primaire en *-meH 2 à degré o radical de la base *d h eṷH 2 -, la forme *duti peut constituer une preuve probable de la modification sémantique «respirer, souffler» → «parler» et en tant que telle représente une contribution importante pour les recherches des parallèles celto-slaves.
[EN] The author tries to account for the morphology and etymology of Gaulish duti (Chartres A7, B9), connecting it to similarly problematic Proto-Slavic *dűma. Judging from its likely syntactic role at the head of two structurally identical Gaulish sentences, duti is argued to represent a feminine action noun in *-ti-. Together with Proto-Slavic *dűma *‘(act of) speaking, thinking’, conceivably an inherited o-grade derivative in *-meH2 to the well-known seṭ-root *dheṷH2 -, it constitutes possible evidence for the semantic shift ‘breath/ blow’ → ‘speak’ and as such presents a valuable addition to the list of Celto-Slavic (near) parallels.
