νυστάζω
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editProbably an enlargement in -τάζω of a Proto-Indo-European *snewd- (“to slumber, doze”); for the formation, compare κλαστάζω (klastázō) and βαστάζω (bastázō, “to lift up”). Cognates, all found in Baltic, include Lithuanian snústi (“to slumber away”), snudà (“sleeper, dreamer”), snáusti (“to slumber”) (with a different ablaut-grade), and forms with an l-suffix including Lithuanian snaudãlius (“sleepy man”) and Latvian snaudale (“sleepy-head”). If this is correct, the old connection with νεύω (neúō, “to nod”) should be abandoned.[1]
Pronunciation
edit- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /nys.táz.dɔː/
- (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /nysˈta.zo/
- (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /nysˈta.zo/
- (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /nysˈta.zo/
- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /nisˈta.zo/
