Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The forms σάττω, σάξαι, σέσαγμαι including the nominal derivv., of which σαγή and σάγμα with analog. - γ- (reversed Bechtel Dial. 2, 745: γ original as in Crot. σάδδῃ; but σάττω analog. after σάξαι), form a regular nivellated system, of which the starting point cannot be reconstructed by lack of an etym. A possible connection gives the nasalised Toch. AB twāṅk- `force in' (IE *tu̯a-n-k-; v. Windekens Orbis 11, 180; 12, 188); but Skt. tvanakti (Lex.) `draw together' is unreliable (s. Mayrhofer s. v.). Further superseded comparisons w. lit. in Bq and WP. 1, 746 f. (Pok. 1098). Cf. also σηκός and σωκός; also συχνός.
