For a sense of a specific instance or occasion of doing or making, see facio. For a sense of doing or making which is yet more continuative, see agito and gero. According to Döderlein, another difference between ago and facio when they mean "make" is that ago typically has to do with making something that does not continue after the "actor" stops doing the action; whereas with facio, the object continues to exist after the maker has made the thing. In other words, ago is temporal, whereas facio is spatial. ==== Reconstruction notes ==== Weiss explains the perfect ēgī as an imperfect to an original Narten present *h₂ḗǵ-ti, under the assumption that */h₂/ has no colouring effect upon an adjacent *ē (as per so-called Eichner's law). Pronk, on top of finding the evidence for Eichner's law itself inconclusive, dismisses Weiss' explanation as involving too many unlikely hypotheses, and presents De Vaan's explanation of ēgī as analogical after faciō, fēcī (“to do”) as the most reasonable hypothesis. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Synonyms ==== (rob, steal): āmoveō, rapiō, fraudō, abdūcō, dīripiō, ēripiō, adimō, rapiō, corripiō, auferō, āvertō, tollō, praedor (plunder): dēpraedor, praedor, dīripiō, populor, expugnō, trahō (discuss): colloquor, disserō (pursue): exsequor, persequor, sequor, īnsector, premō, īnstō, apīscor ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === References === === Further reading === Walther von Wartburg (1928–2002), “agĕre”, in Französisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch (in German), volume 24: Refonte A–Aorte, page 257 “ago”, in Charlton T.

It is possible that the word had become long obsolete in Standard Yoruba. ==== Alternative forms ==== ẹgó (Gbẹdẹ) ògó (Iyagba) ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /à.ɡó/ ==== Noun ==== àgó or agó (anatomy, Ondo, Ikalẹ, Eastern Akoko, Ọwọ) hip, waist Synonyms: bèbèrè ùdí, ìbàdí, ẹ̀gbẹ́, bèbè, ìgbaròkó ===== Coordinate terms ===== bèbè (“waist beads”)
