δράσσομαι

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • δρᾰ́ττομαι (drắttomai) — Attic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *dregʰ-. The LIV suggests either *dr-n̥-gʰ-yé-ti or *dr̥gʰ-yé-ti as the possible pre-forms.[1] If the former theory is accepted, then both the Greek verb and Avestan 𐬛𐬭𐬀𐬲𐬀𐬌𐬙𐬈 (dražaite, “holds”) can be derived from the same PIE verb.[2] Regardless, of these options, Beekes supports the latter.[3] However, van Beek suggests that it is "attractive" to unify both the Avestan and Greek words under one unified ancestral term.[3]
