Proto-Balto-Slavic

Etymology

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

Reconstruction notes

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

Verb

  1. to gird, to band

Conjugation
