Etymology
From an older infinitive, originally the iterative form of an older verb (from which the t, especially from the third-person form, also , was transferred to , yielding ) — which has disappeared, perhaps because of homophony with  and , all ultimately from the same original stem —, from , from , , from the stem ,. The original meaning of referred thus to movement related to boiling, foaming, or fermenting, which was analogically extended to the movements of little animals and insects (“to teem”), later to those of other animals (cf.  “animal,” originally “insect”), and finally to motion in general. Cognates include dialectal 🇨🇬,, , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬
