Romanian verbal prefix a-   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1259 of 1278 |

I wonder what could be the PIE origin of the Romanian verbal prefix a-

a-dormi
a-muTi
a-Tipi

etc...


Even its meaning is hard to identify :

a) I don't think that is an intensive prefix
b) I don't think that is related to <<Latin in>> because the PIE *en-
gave *en > In in Romanian & Albanian see In-Tepeni, In-Lemni etc...

Any feedback?

Marius
