Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *h₂enǵʰ- (to constrict, tighten). (Originally *h₂m̥ǵʰ-?) Cognate with Hittite [script needed] (ḫamank, to tie, to betroth) < *h₂m-(o)n-ǵʰ-, Ancient Greek ἄγχω (ánkhō, to strangle, to squeeze), Latin angere (to strangle, to choke), Old High German engi (narrow). Derksen says the initial *v- is "unclear"; Vasmer attributes it to contamination with *verzti (to tie, to squeeze), while Chernykh sees contamination with *viti (to twist).
