κρίνω

Etymology
From, from , from. Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, and 🇨🇬.

The root of the verb was originally short, but the Attic–Ionic–Doric present tense has a long  because the vowel of the root was compensatorily lengthened after the shortening of Proto-Hellenic, and the aorist  has long  because of compensatory lengthening after the loss of the aorist tense-marker  in the original form. The Aeolic present and aorist  have a short  and doubled  because the consonant  was compensatorily lengthened instead of the vowel.
