Reconstruction notes

The Proto-Indo-European root from which this term descends may have given rise to two verbs: *kelh₁-ti and *klh₁-enti, from which arose *kelati and *kalenti respectively. The Latin first conjugation verb derives from *kelati and the Umbrian verb derives from *kalenti.

  • *kaleje-
    • *kalētōd
      • Umbrian: 𐌊𐌀𐌛𐌄𐌕𐌖 (kařetu, 3sg. impv.)
  • *kalāndo- (gerundive)
  • *klāssis (call out, appeal)
  • *klām-(o/ā)-
