Lithuanian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *baigtei, probably from Proto-Indo-European *bʰ-né-g-ti ~ *bʰ-n̥-g-énti, the nasal-infixed present form of *bʰeg- (to break).[1] However, the circumflex accent of the Lithuanian word is strange, as Winter's law predicts an acute accent.[2]
