Causative
This seems to reflect a causative, where the other BS languages reflect the basic root form. Does Slavic also attest the root verb, or do these other languages have the causative? —CodeCat 19:55, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The root form would presumably be *lęti, but this doesn't exist in ESSJa, which is pretty comprehensive. There is a word *lomъ that has descendants with various meanings, some of which are "crowbar" or similar (e.g. ). Vasmer claims that ломить derives from лом (which would imply he thinks it's not a causative). I don't know if the other Baltic languages have a causative in them; I imagine Derksen would have mentioned the words if they existed. Benwing2 (talk) 20:02, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
