Proto-Balto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *yéh₃sti ~ *ih₃sénti, akin to Ancient Greek ζώννυμι (zṓnnumi, to gird) (nu-present), probably dial. ζούσθω (zoústhō) (dʰe-present).

Reconstruction notes

[edit]

Modern descendants have reanalyzed the conjugation to je-present with ā-preterite. Athematic inflection is attested in Old Lithuanian.[1]

Verb

[edit]

*jṓˀstei[2]

  1. to gird, to band

Conjugation

[edit]

Fixed accent, originally athematic: *jṓˀsti ~ *jṓˀsinti. Later descendants have je-present.
