ἕζομαι

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *heďďomai, from Proto-Indo-European *séd-ye-, from *sed-. Compare ἵζω (hízō, “set”). Cognate with Old English sittan (English sit), Old Norse sitja and Old High German sizzen.

Pronunciation
 

Verb

ἕζομαι • (hézomai) (chiefly poetic)

  1. to sit, sit oneself

Usage notes

  • εἷσα (heîsa),
  • middle aorist εἱσάμην (heisámēn) (with the sense ἱδρύω (“dedicate temples statues”)),
  • middle future εἵσομαι (heísomai),
