Proto-Indo-European
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From *dʰeǵʰ- + *-ōm. However, Kloekhorst argues that the Sanskrit and Anatolian evidence point towards a reconstruction of the root *dʰeǵ- as opposed to *dʰeǵʰ- on the basis that:
- In the Sanskrit oblique stem jm-, the consonant -j- must reflect *ǵ- and cannot reflect *ǵʰ-, which would regularly give -h- in all positions.
- The long vowel in the Hittite nominative singular [tēkan] suggests a "voiced unaspirated" (pre-glottalised) velar.
- The *ǵʰ- reconstructable from Latin, Germanic and Greek can be explained in the glottalic theory as a simplification of the cluster *dʰǵ /dˀɡ/ to *dʰǵʰ /dɡ/. The opposite development is much less likely.
It should be noted, however, that the glottalic theory is not generally accepted.
A phonetically difficult but possible connection is with *(s)teǵ- (“to cover”), with devoicing of *dʰ to *t via Siebs' law.[1]
Noun
[edit]Inflection
[edit]According to Ringe:
| Athematic, amphikinetic | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| singular | |||
| nominative | *dʰéǵʰōm | ||
| genitive | *ǵʰmés | ||
| singular | dual | plural | |
| nominative | *dʰéǵʰōm | — | — |
| vocative | *dʰéǵʰom | — | — |
| accusative | *dʰéǵʰōm | — | — |
| genitive | *ǵʰmés | — | — |
| ablative | *ǵʰmés | — | — |
| dative | *ǵʰméy | — | — |
| locative | *ǵʰém, *ǵʰémi | — | — |
| instrumental | *ǵʰméh₁ | — | — |
Notes:
- Nominative from **dʰéǵʰoms
- Accusative from **dʰéǵʰomm̥
The Hittite evidence suggests a regular hysterokinetic inflection; Kloekhorst reconstructs the original paradigm as:
- Nominative singular *dʰéǵ-m-
- Accussative singular *dʰǵ-ém-m
- Genitive singular *dʰǵ-m-és
