Latin
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Italic *agjō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ǵyéti, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eǵ- (“to say”).
Cognate with adā̆gium, prōdigium, Ancient Greek ἠμί (ēmí, “to say”), Old Armenian ասեմ (asem, “to say”), and Proto-Tocharian *āks- (“to announce, proclaim, instruct”). See also negō.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈai̯.i̯oː/, [ˈäi̯ːoː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈa.jo/, [ˈäːjo]
Verb
[edit]aiō (present infinitive aiere, perfect active ait); third conjugation iō-variant, irregular, highly defective
Usage notes
[edit]- Often spelt āiō, etc. with long ā before consonantal i, especially in older editions, even though the a is in fact short. This is to mark the syllable as long by position due to the regularly-double morpheme-internal /j/, which is normally spelt as single in modern editions.
- The full spelling is said to have been used by Cicero among others, who wrote AIIO, AIIUNT, AIIEBANT, as well as MAIIOR (maior), EIIUS (eius), etc. Other writers and makers of inscriptions used the ī longa (tall I), e.g. AꟾO, EꟾUS, or even a combination AIꟾO, EIꟾUS.
- 3rd-person singular ait, the most common form, is normally attested as a disyllabic with two light syllables, that is [ˈa.ɪt], not [ˈaj.jɪt] with a first heavy syllable.
- The original forms with long ī, including before final t, can be found in Plautus, e.g. aīs, aīt, later undergoing iambic shortening.
- Also in Plautus can be found diphthongal forms such as a͡is (one syllable), a͡it (one syllable), a͡ibam/a͡ibās/a͡ibāt (two syllables), etc.
- ait is also used in past narration; through its reinterpretation as a perfect-tense form, aistī is found post-Classically.
