Proto-Indo-European

Root

*keyt-[1]

  1. to shine, glow
    Synonyms: *bʰeh₂-, *bʰleyǵ-, *ḱweyt-

Reconstruction notes

According to Lubotsky, all derived terms are actually from *(s)kʷeyt- (“to consider, appear”), with loss of labialization in front of *o in Germanic.[2]
On the other hand, Kummel argues that the terms at *kʷeyt- could instead belong to *keyt-.[3]
