New etymology

@JohnC5 Hi! What do you think of the shiny new etymology? -- माधवपंडित (talk) 04:54, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@माधवपंडित: Not great for AG. It works fine for the other descendants, but this word, which is normally related to ἅγιος (hágios), cannot easily come from *Heysd- (note also the en.Wikt orthography). You'd have to reconstruct *h₂éysd-e-ti > PG *áizdomai, but you still have to account for the loss of the *ai diphthong and the aspiration of the initial vowel. *h₁yéh₂ǵ-e-ti ~ *h₁yáǵ-e-ti > *háďďomai works much better. Sorry. —*i̯óh₁nC^[5] 00:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

@JohnC5: I see. No worries! Thanks for making this clear! -- माधवपंडित (talk) 00:59, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
