[[Kavalan]] [Noun] editsum 1.urine [[Latin]] ipa :/sum/[Alternative forms] edit - esum - esom (Early Latin) [Etymology] editThe present stem is from Proto-Italic *ezom, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ésmi (“I am, I exist”). Although *ezom is traditionally reconstructed with voiced -z-, this Latin verb lacked regular rhotacism as in expected *erum, and instead the first vowel of the intermediate forms esum and esom was deleted. Cognates include Ancient Greek εἰμί (eimí), Sanskrit अस्मि (ásmi), Persian هستم‎ (hastam) Faliscan 𐌄𐌔𐌞 (esú), Old English eom (English am).The perfect stem is from Proto-Italic *(fe)fūai, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰúHt (“to become, be”) (whence also fīō (“to become, to be made”), and future and imperfect inflections -bō, -bam). Compare also the etymology at fore.
