Tongu do dia toinges mo thúath

... that while one scholar regards an Old Irish oath as a scholarly Christian invention, another regards it as the descendent of a proto-Indo-European oath?

Source: First scholar: Ó hUiginn 1989, p. 340: "Far from reflecting an inherited pre-christian archaism, it has every appearance of being a contrived learned phrase, and like the later formulae it can be regarded as the creation of archaizing christian literati. "

Second scholar: Watkins 1990, p. 52: ""I suggest that in the three specifications of 'one's own god(s),' [...] we have not only a primary syntactic comparandum but the material for reconstructing an inherited Indo-European oath formulation, the 'greatest local oath.'"

Article is new enough and long enough, no copyvio, well-sourced. Hook is good (taking the quoted Ó hUiginn source on faith). QPQ done. I do think the bold text in the hook should say "one Old Irish oath" or "a certain Old Irish oath". Srnec (talk) 16:32, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
