gauti

== Lithuanian == === Etymology === Of uncertain origin. Traditionally derived from Proto-Balto-Slavic *gáuˀtei, *gū́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷew(H)- (“to gain”). Cognate with Latvian gaut, gūt (“to catch, gain”), Old Prussian pogaūt (“to receive”), and (per Trubačev) Proto-Slavic *gyti, *guviti (“to acquire”). Outside of Balto-Slavic, likely related to Avestan 𐬔𐬏𐬥𐬀𐬊𐬌𐬙𐬌 (gūnaoiti, “to supply”), 𐬔𐬏𐬥𐬀𐬊𐬙𐬌 (gūnaoti, “to increase”). Derksen instead prefers a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₃- (“to feed, tend”) and compares Ancient Greek βόσκω (bóskō, “id”). Tentatively further compared with Proto-Celtic *boudi (“booty, loot”), of disputed origin. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɡɑ̂ʊ.tʲɪ/, [ˈɡˠâ̤ˑʊ̯.tʲɪ] === Verb === gáuti (third-person present tense gáuna, third-person past tense gãvo) (transitive) to get, to obtain, to gain (transitive) to derive ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== gavùs, gauti̇̀nis (“received”) gausà (“abundance”) === References ===
