Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Hellenic *wékʰō, from Proto-Indo-European *wéǵʰeti (“to be transporting”), from the root *weǵʰ-. Cognate with Latin vehō, Sanskrit वहति (váhati), Old English wegan (whence English weigh). The Koine form would have been *ἔχω (*ékhō).
Verb[edit]
ϝέχω • (wékhō) (Arcadocypriot)
Usage notes[edit]
- The only attested forms of this verb are ϝεχέτω (wekhétō, third-person singular present active imperative) and ἔϝεξε (éwexe, third-person singular aorist active indicative). The lemma form *ϝέχω (*wékhō) itself is not attested.
