Ancient Greek

Etymology

This verb has been analyzed as a nasal present of Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (“to mold”), with supposed parallels in Latin fingō (“to shape; feign”) and Old Armenian դիզանեմ (dizanem, “to heap up, gather”). However, this faces the phonetic problem that *θιγχ- (*thinkh-) should be expected. Unresolved.
