κρίνω
Ancient Greek
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Hellenic *kríňňō, from Proto-Indo-European *kri-n-ye-, from *krey- (“to sift, separate”). Cognates include English rinse, Latin cernō (“I separate, discern”), and Welsh gogrynu.[1]
The root of the verb was originally short, but the Attic–Ionic–Doric present tense κρῑ́νω (krī́nō) has a long ῑ (ī) because the vowel of the root was compensatorily lengthened after the shortening of Proto-Hellenic *ňň, and the aorist ἔκρῑνᾰ (ékrīna) has long ῑ (ī) because of compensatory lengthening after the loss of the aorist tense-marker /s/ in the original form /ekrin-sa/. The Aeolic present κρῐ́ννω (krínnō) and aorist ἔκρῐννε (ékrinne) have a short ῐ (i) and doubled νν (nn) because the consonant ν (n) was compensatorily lengthened instead of the vowel.
