etymology ἤνεγκα

[edit]

@Mahagaja I think the etymology for ἤνεγκα is wrong; sources rather give *h₁neḱ-, connecting it to Proto-Balto-Slavic *neśtei. Exarchus (talk) 22:41, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Exarchus: Or both. As the page you linked to says, *h₁neḱ- and *h₂neḱ- tend to get conflated, unsurprisingly. —Mahāgaja · talk 07:02, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think that in any case, the current derivation from *h₂eh₂nónḱe doesn't work for the vowels (as the unaugmented form has ἐ-). Exarchus (talk) 07:22, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
