κρίνω

See also: κρινῶ

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • κρίννω (krínnō) Aeolic

Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *kríňňō, from Proto-Indo-European *kri-n-ye-, from *krey-. Cognates include English rinse, Latin cernō (I separate, discern), and Welsh gogrynu.

The root of the verb was originally short, but the AtticIonicDoric present tense κρῑ́νω (krī́nō) has a long (ī) because the vowel of the root was compensatorily lengthened after the shortening of Proto-Hellenic *ňň, and the aorist ἔκρῑνᾰ (ékrīna) has long (ī) because of compensatory lengthening after the loss of the aorist tense-marker /s/ in the original form /ekrin-sa/. The Aeolic present κρῐ́ννω (krínnō) and aorist ἔκρῐννε (ékrinne) have a short (i) and doubled νν (nn) because the consonant ν (n) was compensatorily lengthened instead of the vowel.
