Proto-Slavic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *tingtei , from Proto-Indo-European *tengʰ-. Akin to Lithuanian tìngti (to become slow) (3sg. tìngsta), tingė́ti (to be lazy) (3sg. tìngi), Old Norse þyngja (burden), Old High German dīhsala (drawbar, shaft), Old Norse þīsl (drawbar, shaft), and possibly Latin tēmō (drawbar, shaft)(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) < *tenk-smō.

Attested mainly in telic sense, reflecting an ancient root aorist[1] in the past tense and thematic root "imperfective" in present. Parallel to Proto-Slavic *tęgati, Proto-Slavic *tęgnǫti which convey atelic nuances.

Verb[edit]

*tęťi pf (imperfective *tęgati)[2]

  1. to pull, to stretch
