Reconstruction notes
[edit]Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic show the presence of an *-i- at several different locations in the root.
- Lithuanian giedóti and Sanskrit गीत (gītá) would point to *g⁽ʷ⁾eyH- ~ *g⁽ʷ⁾iH-.
- Sanskrit गायति (gā́yati) points to *g⁽ʷ⁾eHy- ~ *g⁽ʷ⁾Hi-.
- Sanskrit गाथ (gāthá), Avestan 𐬔𐬁𐬚𐬁 (gāθā) (< *g⁽ʷ⁾eHtH-), Sanskrit जगौ (jagau) point to *g⁽ʷ⁾eH-.
The LIV suggests the reanalysis of a *ye- present as part of the root itself with later metathesis of *g⁽ʷ⁾Hi- to *g⁽ʷ⁾iH- and then normalization to *g⁽ʷ⁾eyH- ~ *g⁽ʷ⁾iH-.[2]
