- ἔρχομαι
- ἔρχομαιGrammatical information: v.Meaning: `come', also `go, wander' (Il.).Other forms: only present-stemCompounds: very often with determinating prefix ἀπ-, εἰσ-, ἐξ-, κατ- etc.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [328] *h₁er- `move, go'Etymology: Probably to ἐρ- ὀρ- in ὄρνυμι (s. also ἐρέθω) but without certain cognate outside Greek. (A present formant -χ- appears in τρύ-χ-ω, στενά-χ-ω, after consonant in σπέρχομαι.) One compared OIr. ipv. eirg `go!', fut. regaid `he will go' (Sarauw KZ 38, 160) and Skt. r̥ghāyáti `tremble, rage', with further iterative ὀρχέομαι `dance'. The connection with Skt. r̥ccháti `come upon sthing, reach', with Hitt. ar-šk-izzi iter. `reach repeatedly, make incursions', presupposes, that ἔρχομαι continues *ἔρ-σκ-ομαι (on the phonetics Schwyzer 335f.); this was argued by Rix, MSS 27 (1969)79-110, assuming *h₁r-sk-eti. - Pok. 328 und Schwyzer 702 A. 6. -Page in Frisk: 1,572
