Compounds: Many compounds: ἀνα-, ἀπο-, ἐκ-, ἐμ-βαίνω usw.

Derivatives: 1. βάσις `step, base' (Pi., in comp. Il.) = Skt. gáti- (below). 2. βατήρ, - ῆρος m. `threshold, basis' (Amips., inscr. etc.). 3. - βάτης, - ου m. from comp.: ἀνα-, ἀπο-, ἐμ-βάτης etc. (Il.), also with nominal first element, e. g. στυλο-βά-της; 4. - βατος from comp.: ἀνα- ( ἀμ-)βατός etc. (Il.); βατός as simplex (rarely) `accessible' (X.); s.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [463] * gʷem- `go'

Etymology: A jot present \< *βάν-ι̯ω \< *βάμ-ι̯ω \< gʷm̥-i̯ō, βά-σκω \< *gʷm̥- from the root * gʷem-. The non-present forms were made from the root βη- (βᾱ-) \< * gʷeh₂-: ἔβην, βήσομαι (factitive ἔβησα, βήσω after ἔστησα, στήσω), βέβηκα (Il.). The present βαίνω is identical with Lat. venio (on `go' and `come' s. Porzig Satzinhalte 330f.); the sḱ-present βάσκε in Skt.. gácchati \< *gʷm̥-ske-ti `he goes'. The full grade in Goth. qiman `come', Skt. á-gam-am `I went' (aor.). Here also ἐβάθη ἐγεννήθη H.? for which one compares Lith. gìmstu `be born', if - stu \< *-sḱō (Leumann IF 58, 120)? - With βάσις cf. Skt. gáti-, Lat. con-ventio, and Germ., e.g. Goth. ga-qumÞs. Also - βατος = Skt. (-) gata-, Lat. - ventus. With βίβημι cf. Skt. jígāti `he goes. The aor. ἔβην agrees exactly with Skt. á-gā-m `he went'; das noun βῆμα agrees with Av. gā-man- n. `step, pace'. - With the roots g^uem- and g^uā- cf. * drem- (s. ἔδραμον), drā- (s. ἀποδιδράσκω), with related meaning. Cf. βέβαιος, βέβηλος, βωμός, βαστάζω, βητάρμων.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `run' (Il.)

Other forms: Aor. (Il.), fut. δραμοῦμαι (Ion.-Att.), perf. δέδρομα (Od.), δεδρόμᾱκα (Sapph.; s. below), δεδράμηκα (Ion.-Att.); aor. to τρέχω.

Derivatives: δρόμος with δρομή (Hdn.), δράμημα `run' (Hdt.), also δρόμημα ( APl.). - Deverbat. δρομάασκε (Hes. Fr. 117 v. l.); δρομήσασα (Vett. Val.); ὑποδεδρόμᾱκε (Sapph.; or Aeolic zero grade?), δρομάσσειν τρέχειν H.; also δρωμᾳ̃ τρέχει and δρωμίσσουσα τρέχουσα H.; see Schwyzer 718f.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [204] * drem- `run'

Etymology: The aorist- and perfect stem δραμ-, δρομ- beside δρᾱ- in ἔ-δρᾱ-ν etc. (s. ἀπο-διδράσκω) like the presentstem βαν- \< *βαμ- in βαίνω to βᾱ- in ἔ-βη-ν. Outside Greek Skt. pres. dramati (Gramm.), intens. dan-dram-yate `run'; very uncertain however OE trem `footstep' and related Germ. words (Pok. 204f.). So we have IE * drem-: dreh₂- like g^uem-: g^ueh₂-; see βαίνω. A third variant is seen in Skt. drávati `run'. - As present of δραμεῖν Greek has τρέχειν; on the aspect see Benveniste Origines 120.
