Proto-Indo-European

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From the stem *delh₁gʰ- (~ to be long; to last, endure), found in Ancient Greek ἐνδελεχέω (endelekhéō, to continue), ἐνδελεχής (endelekhḗs, continuous) and probably Latin indulgeō (to concede),[1] which appears to be a compound of a marginally attested root *del(h₁)- (long) (cf. Russian длина́ (dliná), Old Czech dél (length),[2] Proto-Slavic *dьliti (to last, prolong, delay)[3] and Old Norse tálma (to hinder)) plus an unknown root *h₁egʰ- or suffix *-gʰ-.[4]

Resemblance to the synonym *dlongʰos is conspicuous and probably not by coincidence, but a formal connection is difficult, due to the presence of the laryngeal in one but not the other.

Adjective

[edit]

*dl̥h₁gʰós (non-ablauting)[5][6]

  1. long
