      Adverb

      emo

      1. maybe

      Latin

      FWOTD – 16 July 2013

      Etymology

        From Proto-Italic *emō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁em- (“to take, distribute”), with excrescent p in ēmptum. The origin of the perfect form is slightly more convoluted. According to De Vaan and Rix, it may have originated from a Proto-Indo-European reduplicated stative form. However, the origin of Latin long-vowel perfects is generally disputed, and other linguists suggest it may have derived from a Narten-type present. Numerous related verbs such as sūmō or dēmō have a perfect stem ending in -psī. De Vaan argues that these new stems are innovative, and were formed after these related verbs had become synchronically unidentifiable with emō.

        Cognate with Lithuanian im̃ti, Old Church Slavonic имѫ (imǫ) and possibly Old Armenian իմանամ (imanam). Possibly related to Proto-Indo-European *nem- (“to take or give one's due”), with its descendants English nim, Danish nemme, Dutch nemen, German nehmen, West Frisian nimme, Ancient Greek νέμω (némō).

        1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
