Reconstruction notes
The Latin term clepsī attests to a sigmatic aorist, which may date back to Proto-Indo-European as it may have a cognate in Ancient Greek ἔκλεψᾰ (éklepsă).[2] However, the linguists Katherine McDonald and Nicholas Zair argue that the term 𐌊𐌖𐌋𐌖𐌐𐌖 (kulupu) attests to a root aorist.[3]
