hafiest

Oscan

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Italic *haβjō, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰeh₁bʰ-.[1]

Verb

hafiest (3rd-person singular future active indicative)

  1. to hold, have

Usage notes

The term is perhaps a mistaken spelling for *hapiest, which would be the expected form from the Proto-Indo-European root *gʰeh₁bʰ-. This discrepancy may also be explained via the influence of another root, perhaps *kap-.[2]
