μάρπτω

Etymology
A word without outer-Greek cognates. Within Greek, a connection may be drawn with some glosses found in :


 * (with a different auslauting velar) and.
 * (with a different auslauting velar) and.
 * (with a different auslauting velar) and.

The latter have been compared with 🇨🇬. However, the variation κ/π cannot be explained in Indo-European terms. Rather, the variants point to origin.

Alternatively, Nikolaev rejects a pre-Greek etymology and instead reconstructs, to which he also assigns 🇨🇬 (with delabialization before s generalized throughout its paradigm) and 🇨🇬.

Verb

 * 1) to take hold of, catch, grasp
 * 2) to lay hold of, seize, overtake
