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.
