Origin: IE [Indo-European] [418] *ǵʰeh₁- `leave, abandon'

Etymology: From a reduplic. root-present *κί-χη-μι (like τί-θη-μι) in κί-χη-μεν, κι-χή-την a. o. ( ἐκίχεις like ἐτίθεις), which were seen as aorist when the new present κιξάνω arose. Innovations are themat. ἔκιχεν etc. and the sigmatic κιχήσατο with fut. κιχήσομαι (Il.); Dorian created a diff. σ-aorist in ἔκιξε. Als last member of the new systems arose after ἔφθην, φθήσομαι: φθάνω the present κιχάνω; κιγχάνω arose after λαμβάνω etc. Schwyzer 688 w. n. 5, 698; Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 300; 392; 415; 446. - To *κί-χη-μι from IE. *ǵhi-ǵhē-mi agree but for the redupl. vowel Skt. já-hā-ti `leave, abandon', Av. za-zāi-ti `let go' (cf. e. g. δί-δω-μι beside dá-dā-ti); XX [unknown](aind. Aor. a-hā-t wie ἔ-βη-ν, Fut. hā-sya-ti).XX [unknown] An unredupl. full grade present in the Germanic verb for `go' vor; OHG, OE gān, OIc. gā; on the meaning cf. Skt. midd. jí-hī-te, 3. pl. jí-h- ate `go on, away' (with zero grade). Remote cognates are suggested in χάζομαι, χατέω, χήρα, χώρος; s. vv. Ruijgh en Van Krimpen, Mnemosyne XXII (1969) 113-136 find the meaning `abandon' in Myc. kekemena \/khekhemenā\/ `deserted (land)'. They think that the transition in meaning occurred in the sports, where a runner reaches and leaves = passes another. (LIV2 posits * gʷeh₁-, but there is no indication for a labio-velar.)
