Proto-Indo-European

Root

    *h₁eyǵʰ-[1][2]

    1. to desire, long for

    Reconstruction notes

    • The initial laryngeal must be *h₁,[1] not the *h₂ suggested by Beekes,[3] or else the Celtic reflexes of the verb would have the wrong vowel; the Celtic verb would surface as **yaigeti with *h₂ and **yoigeti with *h₃.
    • Many authors[4][5][6][7] have left the laryngeal unspecified before the Celtic reflexes were established as derived from this root.
