Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/taikijaną
Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Causative in *-janą to *taik(k)ōną (see Proto-West Germanic *taigōn), from Proto-Indo-European *deyḱ- (“to show, instruct, tell, point out, explain”) + *-néh₂ti; the Germanic *k rather than expected *h or *g is thus due to Kluge's law.[1] Cognate with Latin dīcō (“speak, say, tell”), Ancient Greek δείκνυμι (deíknumi, “show, point out, explain, teach”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈtɑi̯.ki.jɑ.nɑ̃/
Verb
*taikijaną[1]
- (West Germanic) to show, point out, demonstrate; to teach
