Compounds: Also with prefix, esp. ἐπι-.

Derivatives: Beside it, rather deverbative than denominative, *σοϜ-έομαι \> *σοϜοῦμαι in σοῦμαι, σοῦνται, ipv. σοῦ, inf. σοῦσθαι (trag.), Dor. σοώμην, σῶμαι a. o. (H.), perf. ptc. ἐσσοημένον (H.). Act. ipf. 3. sg. σόει (B.); s. Wackernagel KZ 25, 277 = Kl. Schr. 1, 221 (diff. Schwyzer 679 with Schulze: denom. from *σοϜόο-μαι; cf. σοῦς below). With lengthened grade σώοντο, σωομένους (A.R.); after the synonymous ρΏώοντο (s. ῥώομαι)? Unclear σεῦται (S. Tr. 645, lyr.); spoiled from σοῦται (Elmsley) or analog. after σεύομαι? -- Nominal derivv.: 1. As 2. member: αὑτό-σσυτος `self-sped' (A., S.); often - σ(σ)όος, e.g. λαο-σσόος `inciting the men' (Hom. a.o.); but δορυ-σσόος to σείω, νηο-σσόος to σῴζω (s. vv.). 2. σοῦς (from *σόϜος) m. `(fast, upward) movement' (Democr., Lacon. after Pl.

On σῶτρον s. ἐπίσσωτρον; on πανσυδί and ἐπασσύτερος s. vv. Cf. also τευμάομαι and τευτάζω.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [538] *ki̯eu̯- `be\/put in movement'

Etymology: The maintenance of the ευ-diphthongs in σεύομαι etc. is to be explained as epic archaism (Wackernagel l.c., Schwyzer 745 w. n. 4, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 158 f.), the aor. ἔσσευ-α can go back on an athematic formation (Schwyzer l.c. w. reference of other interpretations, Chantraine 1, 385). -- Old inherited poetic verb with agreements in Indo-Iranian and Armenian. With σεύομαι, σεύεται agree exactly Skt. cyávate, Av. šyavaite `move (oneself), put oneself in movement', IE *ki̯éuetoi; with - σσυτος as well Skt. cyutá- `moved' and Av. fra-sūta- `come in movement' (length of the ū secondary); also *σοϜέομαι in σοῦμαι may be formally equated with the Skt. causative cyāváyate. The Arm. aor. č'og-ay (pres. ert`am) `I went', seemingly with o-grade, IE *ki̯ou-, must be deverbative or denominative. -- Cf. also κινέω and κίω. WP. 1, 363, Pok. 538, Mayrhofer s. cyávate; older lit. also in Bq.
