οἴχομαι

Ancient Greek edit

Etymology edit

Mediopassive form (with perfective meaning?) to Ancient Greek οἰχνέω (oikhnéō, “to go, come, walk, approach”), both connected to Armenian and Tocharian verbal forms (with meanings such as Old Armenian իջանեմ (iǰanem, “to come down”) and Tocharian B yku (“gone”)). Compare also Old Irish óegi (“guest”) and Lithuanian eigà (“course”); if these are all related, they point to Proto-Indo-European *h₁eygʰ- (“to go”).^[1]
