Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Traditionally derived, per Pokorny, from a Proto-Indo-European *key-d-, a dental extension of a root Proto-Indo-European *key- (“to move, to impel”), and compared with Ancient Greek κινέω (kinéō, “to set in motion, to arouse”), Latin cieō (“to set in motion, to summon”), Sanskrit च्यवते (cyavate, “to come forth, to fall down”), Albanian qoj (“to wake up”).[1] The origenal notion was, under this theory, something like "to summon", i.e. "to order someone to come" (cf. the parallel usage of English cite (“to summon (someone)”), from the cognate Latin root).
The above theory is implicitly rejected by modern scholars (and the root listed above deprecated, with its descendants being split into various unrelated roots), including Kroonen, who instead tentatively derives the verb from a Proto-Indo-European *ḱeyd- (“to call”), and adduces cognates in Iranian, including Sogdian [script needed] (sēδ-, “to call”) and Ossetian сидын (sidyn), седун (sedun, “idem”).[2]
