Root 2 edit

*tek-[1][2][3][4]

  1. to weave

Reconstruction notes edit

This root is similar to *teḱ- (to produce, beget, sire), and their descendants have partial semantic overlap. Only Old Armenian թեքեմ (tʻekʻem) conclusively points to the plain-velar *k, so it is often assumed that the other (Centum) descendants listed below are from *teḱ-. It is also possible, though can be neither confirmed nor disproven, that the two are different but related forms of one original root.

Derived terms edit

  • *ték-e-ti
  • *ték-seti
  • Unsorted formations:
    • Proto-Armenian:
      • >? Old Armenian: թեզան (tʻezan) (perhaps by conflation with *(s)tegʰ- (to stitch) or another root) (see there for further descendants)
