The present dependent is fromOld Irishfuil, eventually fromProto-Celtic*weleti "to see", while the past dependent and subjunctive is fromroib, an augmentedro-form ofat·tá.

Although the present dependent is generally used instead, the present independent affirmative is immune tolenition in most dialects and never would be subject toeclipsis.

bí
FromProto-Vietic*k-biːrʔ ~ *k-piːrʔ, fromProto-Mon-Khmer*cpiir. Cognate withMuongpỉl, proto-Monic*cmpiir (modernMonသ္ပဳ(həpɔe,“pumpkin”)),Riangsᵊpir¹,Khmu [Cuang]hmpiːr ("melon").
This word was originally referred to some kind of native gourd (pumpkins are from the Americas), most likely thewax gourd, now also commonly calledbí đao; or maybe it was (and is still) just the word for cucurbits in general.
