Reconstruction:Proto-Italic/kedō

This Proto-Italic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Italic

Etymology

From *ke (“here”) +‎ *dō (“give”, imperative).

Verb

*kedō first-singular present indicative[1]

  1. (imperative) give here!

Conjugation

In Latin, this occurs only as a fossilised expression, and has only imperative forms. Presumably, this reflects the older Proto-Italic situation as well, although it is conceivable that the verb had a full conjugation at some point.

Descendants
