Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: year (Il.);
Other forms: dial. Ϝέτος.
Dialectal forms: Myk. we-to (acc.), we-te-i (dat.)
Compounds: Oft as 2. member, e. g. τρι-ετής (τρι-έτης) three-year old (Ion.-Att.) with τριετία space of three years (hell.), τριετίζω be three years old (LXX); also τρι-έτ-ηρος three years old (Call.) with -ηρίς f. every third year (incluve), i. e. all two years returning (ἑορτη; Pi., Ion.-Att.; after the nouns in -ηρός, -ηρίς; Schwyzer 482, Chantraine Formation 346); from it τριετηρικός belonging to a τριετηρίς (late).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1175] u̯etos year
Etymology: Old word for year, preserved in several languages. An exact agreement in Alb. vit, pl. (also sg.) vjet year, from IE *u̯etes- (Mann Lang. 26, 383). As 2. member the neutral s-stem is preserved in zero grade in Skt. tri-vats-á- of three years; the full grade is supposed in Messap. atavetes (= αὑτό-ετες, in the same year?; Schwyzer 513 n. 3) and in Hitt. ša-u̯itiš-t- nurseling (prop. t-abstract *"of the same year"?; s. Kronasser Vgl. Laut- und Formenlehre 53 and 130). Beside it Hitt. has a consonant-stem u̯itt- (= u̯et-) year, s. Kronasser 126 A. 20. A rebuilding into an a-stem perhaps in Hier.-Hitt. usa-, Luw. ušša- year (< IE *u̯et-o-?) ; Kronasser Μνήμης χάριν 1, 201. A semantic problem gives Lat. vetus old, formally = Ϝέτος; for the explanation s.

Ir. feis swine (< *u̯ets-i-). - On itself stands a Balto-Slavic word for old, Lith. vẽtušas, OCS vetъchъ, IE *u̯etus-o- (here also Lat. vetus?); cf. Ernout-Meillet s. v. (where the Balto-Slavic adjectiv on insufficient grounds is separated from the word for year). - A new name for year in Greek is ἐνιαυτός, s. v. S. also ἔταλον, νέωτα, οἰετέας, πέρυσι, σῆτες.
