Proto-Italic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From *ke (here) +‎ *dō (give, imperative).

Verb[edit]

*kedō first-singular present indicative[1]

  1. (imperative) give here!

Conjugation[edit]

In Latin, this occurs only as a fossilised expression, and has only imperative forms. Presumably, this reflects the older Proto-Italic situation as well, although it is conceivable that the verb had a full conjugation at some point.

Descendants[edit]

  • Latin: cedo, cedite/cette
