The office, position, or rank of being a brehon; the status and authority held by an Irish judge or lawgiver.
Formed from 'brehon' plus the suffix '-ship,' which creates nouns indicating position, office, or state (like 'kingdom,' 'friendship,' 'leadership'). This suffix comes from Old English '-scipe.'
The -ship suffix has been creating titles for over 1,500 years—'friendship,' 'leadership,' 'citizenship'—it's how English lets us turn any noun into a status or relationship!
