Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/leykʷ-

Unsorted formations:

Balto-Slavic: Lithuanian: likti ‎(“stay”), atlaikas ‎(“remains”)

etc. should be merged with the above: duplication. I am not sure how, however. Zezen (talk) 21:39, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Thematic root aorist

@JohnC5, @CodeCat, can you have a look at the thematic root aorist section? I am not very familiar with our presentation system yet. In particular, should the augment *h₁é be included in the headword? --Vahag (talk) 13:59, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

The augment was not a part of the verb in PIE. In fact, it didn't get added to the aorist until the aorist acquired past-tense semantics, which it didn't have in PIE. Homeric Greek still had an optional augment, so we can't say the augment was already present in PIE. —CodeCat 14:34, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

So how do we present it? *likʷ-e-t, *(h₁é-)likʷ-e-t? --Vahag (talk) 17:44, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

The former. Though I must say that reconstructable thematic aorists are quite rare. —CodeCat 18:34, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I can't think of many thematic aorists off the top of my head. —JohnC5 21:42, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
