[[vomit]], [[vomimus]] (ceside <b class="b2">vomi-tus</b>), which were reinterpreted as thematic, cf. <b class="b2">reg-i-mus</b>. Disyllabic root also in Lith. <b class="b2">vémti</b> (with new jot present <b class="b2">vemiù</b> ). The root also in North-Germanic, but only in metaph. meaning, e. g. OSw. [[vami]] m. [[disgust]]. - Schwyzer 222 n. 5 sees in <b class="b3">ἐμέω</b> an element of the living language, which would explain that the verb does not sow a <b class="b3">Ϝ-</b> in Homer (cf. <b class="b3">ἱδρώς</b>, also <b class="b3">δίφρος</b>).
