Origin: IE [Indo-European] [467] *gʷeih₃-, *gʷieh₃- live
Etymology: Generally derived from a root *gʷie-, which is impossible as the root was *gʷeih₃-\/gʷieh₃- (s. βιω-); also the distribution could not be explained. This agrees with the fact that Homer has only (uncontracted) forms ζωε\/ο-. So Attic etc. ζῶ, ζῃ̃ς, ἔζησα must be innovations.
