Uath, Old Irish Úath, hÚath (Script error: No such module "IPA".), is the sixth letter of the Ogham alphabet, ᚆ, transcribed Template:Angbr in manuscript tradition, but unattested in actual inscriptions. The kenning "a meet of hounds is huath" identifies the name as úath "horror, fear", although the Auraicept glosses "white-thorn":
- comdal cuan huath (.i. sce L. om); no ar is uathmar hi ara deilghibh "a meet of hounds is huath (i.e. white-thorn); or because it is formidable (uathmar) for its thorns."
The original etymology of the name, and the letter's value, are, however, unclear.[1] McManus (1986) suggested a value /y/ (i.e. the semivowel [j]).[2] Peter Schrijver suggested that if úath "fear" is cognate with Latin pavere, a trace of PIE *p might have survived into Primitive Irish, but there is no independent evidence for this.[3]
Bríatharogam
In the medieval kennings, called Bríatharogam or Word Ogham the verses associated with Úath are:
condál cúan - "assembly of packs of hounds" in the Word Ogham of Morann mic Moín
bánad gnúise - "blanching of faces" in the Word Ogham of Mac ind Óc
ansam aidche - "most difficult at night"" in the Word Ogham of Culainn.[4]
