ἁλίσκομαι
Ancient Greek
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *welh₃- (“to catch, seize, strike”) + -σκομαι (-skomai). The aspiration was probably taken from αἱρεῖν (haireîn) and/or ἑλεῖν (heleîn). The aorist forms reflect the stem *wḷh₃eh₁-, where the passive marker -η- appears as -ω- as a result of the preceding laryngeal's coloring effect. Cognates include Latin vellō (“to pluck, demolish”).
