-гибать

See also: сыпать

Russian

Etymology

From imperfective lengthening of the Proto-Slavic perfective infinitive stem *-gъb- (from the infinitive *gъbnǫti) + -а́ть (-átʹ). Expected *-гыба́ть (*-gybátʹ) becomes -гиба́ть (-gibátʹ) by regular sound change. Similar lengthening accounts for the change -о--а- in imperfective derivations in -ывать (-yvatʹ) and -ивать (-ivatʹ), e.g.
