Origin: IE [Indo-European] [658] * legʰ- lie'

Etymology: With the primary thematic present λέχεται agrees exactly Goth. ligan `lie', which (like sitan `sit') is suspected as innovation for the further in Germ. dominating and also in Slavic (OCS ležǫ) found yotpresent (Brugmann Grundr.² II: 3, 190 a. 192); after Specht KZ 62, 45 f. the verb was originally limited to the aorist. A primary present, orig. prob. also yotpresent, is also found in Celtic, MIr. laigid `lies down' (with a from e as in saidid `sits'; Thurneysen KZ 59, 9 f.). Italic too has once known this verb, as appears from Falisc. lecet `iacet' (formation?), s. Porzig Indogermanica 176. - Also to the Greek verbal nouns the other languages give many comparable forms: OWNo. lag n. `Lage, position', pl. lǫg `law', Russ. lóg `valley, cleft', Scr. lŏg `lying', Pol. od-ɫog `fallow field' (\> Lith. at-lagaĩ `id.'; cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 311f.), Alb. lagje `band, group', all from IE * logho- (formally = λόχος); OCS lože ' κλίνη, κοίτη'; OHG lehtar `uterus' = λέκτρον; in Slav., e. g. OCS ložes-no, pl. -na ' μήτρα, uterus' prob. the s-stem in λέχος. With ἄ-λοχος cf. Serb.-Csl. su-logъ ' σύγ-κοιτος, spouse' (Russ.-Csl. su-ložь). Toch. B leke, A lake `lair'. - More forms in WP. 2, 424f., Pok. 658f., W.-Hofmann s. lectus, Ernout-Meillet s. lectus, Vasmer Wb. s. ležátь, lóže, ljágu.
