Etymology
Originally the iterative form (with ablaut) of an earlier verb, used with respect to birds (“to pick with one's beak”; cf. 🇨🇬, and the related “to calculate”), from , , from , perhaps derived from the stem , via a meaning such as “to pick (something) while bending down.” The later meaning “to read” came by analogy to 🇨🇬, which has both meanings, itself also influenced by 🇨🇬. A simultaneous change in case marking also occurred: from   “to pick/read letters in a book” (like    “to pick berries in the forest”) to   “to read in a book” and finally   “to read a book,” with the accusative form  of  “book.” Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬,.
