βαίνω
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- βάσκω (báskō) – Homeric
Etymology
The present stem is from Proto-Hellenic *gʷəňňō, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷm̥yéti, from zero-grade of *gʷem- + *-yéti.
Cognates include Old English cuman (English come), Latin veniō, and Sanskrit गच्छति (gacchati).
The aorist ἔβην (ébēn), as well as the other tense-forms whose stems do not contain ν (n), is from Proto-Hellenic *égʷēn, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₂-.
