[[ceasing]] (A., A. R., Ph.), as gramm. term <b class="b2">ending etc.</b> (Demetr. Eloc., A.

(Schwyzer 310, 414, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 176); to this thematic root-present, from where all forms mentioned come, there is nowhere a direct correspondent. A zero grade nasalpresent is supposed however in <b class="b3">λαγγάζω</b> <b class="b2">leave off</b> and Lat. [[langueō]] <b class="b2">be weak</b>. There is a primary, also zero grade aorist <b class="b3">λαγά-σαι</b> with the present <b class="b3">λαγαίω</b> <b class="b2">leave off</b> and several nouns, e.g. <b class="b3">λαγαρός</b>. A full grade <b class="b2">ō-</b>form is retained in Northgerm., e.g. OWNo. [[slōkr]], Swed. [[slōk]] <b class="b2">who walks about, deteriorated man</b>, with Swed. [[slōka]] <b class="b2">walk about</b>, usu. <b class="b2">hang weakly (let ...)</b>. - More forms in WP. 2, 712ff., Pok. 959ff. An IE <b class="b2">*sleh₂g-</b> is perhaps possible, Pok. 959.<br />See also: s. auch [[λαγαίω]], <b class="b3">λαγαρός</b>, [[λαγγάζω]], [[λωγάνιον]], <b class="b3">λωγάς</b>.
