Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/augijaną
Proto-Germanic
Etymology
From *augô (“eye”) + *-janą,[1] or perhaps inherited from Proto-Indo-European *h₃okʷéyeti (“to cause to see”), from *h₃ekʷ- (“to see; eye”) + *-éyeti (causative), with the same metathesis *agw- > *aug- seen in the noun; in the latter case it is unclear which word influenced the other. Piecewise doublet of *augnijaną, an apparently more recent formation.
