have

Etymology 1
From, from , from , from , durative of , from , present tense of. Related to.

Since there is no common Indo-European root for a transitive possessive verb have (notice that 🇨🇬 is not etymologically related to English have), Proto-Indo-European probably lacked the have structure. Instead, the third person forms of be were used, with the possessor in dative case, compare Latin mihi est / sunt, literally to me is / are.

Cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬,, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

Usage notes
In certain dialects, expressions, and literary use, the lexical have can be used without do-support, meaning the sentence Do you have an idea? can also be Have you an idea? This makes have the only lexical verb in Modern English that can function without it, aside from some nonce examples with other verbs in set phrases, as in What say you?, and aside from the verb where this is considered lexical.

The auxiliary have which forms the perfect tense never uses do-support, so Have you seen it? cannot be Do you have seen it?.
