Pictishn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈpɪktɪʃ/, U.S.

/ˈpɪktɪʃ/

Forms: Old English Pihttisc, Old English Pyhtisc, 1600s– Pictish; Scottish pre-1700 Pechtis, pre-1700 Pichtis, pre-1700 1700s– Pictish, 1700s Pikish, 1800s Picish.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Pict n. and adj., -ish suffix¹.

Etymology: < Pict n. and adj. + -ish suffix¹.The forms Pichtis in quot. 1581 at sense B. and Pechtis in quot. 1610 at sense B. may represent the genitive plural of the noun Pict rather than an adjective. The word apparently became obsolete at the end of the Old English period and was re-formed in the late 16th cent.

A. n.

The language (or languages) of the Picts.Pictish is attested only in a few personal names and place names and inscriptions. It appears to be a P-Celtic language related to British (the ancestor of Welsh, Cornish and Breton), but distinctive enough to be regarded as a separate language in contemporary sources (cf. quot. OE). The traditional view advocated by K. H. Jackson (in F. T. Wainwright Probl. of Picts (1955) 152) posited a further unidentified and probably non-Indo-European language alongside this, to account for a number of undeciphered ogham inscriptions. However, since this theory rests mainly on unintelligible, rather than linguistically analysable material, it has recently been convincingly challenged by K. Forsyth (see Language in Pictland (1997)).
