- plural nominal past active participle of vadar
Lithuanian
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- vadýti (dialectal)
Etymology
[edit]Etymology disputed.[1][2][3][4] Either:
- According to Trautmann and Buga, from Proto-Indo-European *wedʰ- (“to lead”). Related to vèsti (“to lead”), vãdas, vadõvas (“leader”), Latvian vadinât (“to lead, accompany, urge, lure”). Due to reasonable semantics and lack of conflict with Winter's Law, this derivation is preferred by Derksen.
- According to Smoczynski, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wedH- (“sound, speak”). Related to Proto-Slavic *vaditi (“to argue, scold”), Sanskrit वदति (vadati, “to speak, tell”), perhaps Ancient Greek αὐδή (audḗ, “voice”). The semantics are a closer match than the derivation above, but the phonetics are in conflict with Winter's Law.
