Alternative forms

  • ghiri, gghiri (eye dialect, non-standard, only when geminated)
  • gniri (eye dialect, non-standard, palatalization just before n)

Etymology

The infinitive and forms beginning with j- derive from Latin īre, while the forms beginning with v- derive from corresponding forms of vādere.

In some not homogeneous areas in Sicily, inside or nearby Gallo-Italic enclaves, the forms made upon īre are made instead on annari, from Early Medieval Latin andāre, of disputed origin.

For the reflexive sense, compare Spanish irse and Italian andarsene.
