Proto-Italic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

This verb is traditionally reconstructed as *stingō and derived from a root *steyg- (to stick, sting). The labiovelar in this word in Latin would have to be analogical to other verbs with a labiovelar like unguō and ninguit.[1]

De Vaan, going against everyone else, derives this from Proto-Indo-European *stengʷ- (to push), relating this to Proto-Germanic *stinkwaną.[2]
