Greek[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- πάω (páo) — in the literal sense "to go"
- παγαίνω (pagaíno), πααίνω (paaíno), πηαίνω (piaíno) — only idiomatic or literature[1]
Etymology[edit]
From Ancient Greek ὑπάγω (hupágō, “bring under”) in its Hellenistic sense "go", through its imperfect tense ὑπῆγον (hupêgon) > mediaeval ὑπῆγα (hupêga) which was wrongly analysed as ὑ- + πῆγα (instead of ὑπ- +) and a formation of a new mediaeval present tense + -αίνω (-aínō), πηγαίνω (pēgaínō), in the familiar pattern of aorist - present like ἔμαθα (ématha) - μαθαίνω (mathaíno, “learn”). The form πάω (páo), with silenced [ɣ] for <γ> of mediaeval ὑπάγω.[2][3]
Also see the imperative άμε! (áme!), parallel form of πήγαινε! (pígaine!) and the mediaeval types ὑπαγαίνω (hupagaínō), ἀπηγαίνω (apēgaínō).
