Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *weɣō, from Proto-Indo-European *weǵʰ- (“to ride”) (present stem from Proto-Indo-European *wéǵʰeti, perfect stem either from Proto-Indo-European *wḗǵʰst or a later formation of the same type). Cognate with Arcadocypriot Greek ϝέχω (wékhō), Sanskrit वहति (vahati), Persian وز (vaz), Old English wegan.
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈu̯e.hoː/,
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈve.o/,
- The length of the vowel in the perfect stem vē̆x- is uncertain per Bennett 1907, Buck 1913 and Sihler 1995. De Vaan 2008, Weiss 2009 and Vine 2017 mark it as long (representing a lengthened ablaut grade of the root). As the use of the suffix -s- to form perfects remained productive into Latin, the Latin perfect form could in theory be an independent formation rather than going back to a common ancestor of Latin, Greek and Sanskrit. In the PIE stage, Ringe reconstructs this type of aorist as having a long vowel in the singular but a short vowel in the plural (e.g. *wḗǵʰst vs. *wéǵʰsn̥d).
