veho

== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *weɣō, from Proto-Indo-European *weǵʰ- (“to ride”) (present stem from Proto-Indo-European *wéǵʰeti, perfect stem either from Proto-Indo-European *wḗǵʰst or a later formation of the same type). Cognate with Arcadocypriot Greek ϝέχω (wékhō), Sanskrit वहति (vahati), Persian وز (vaz), Old English wegan. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈwe.(ɦ)oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈvɛː.o] The length of the vowel in the perfect stem vē̆x- is uncertain per Bennett 1907, Buck 1913 and Sihler 1995. De Vaan 2008, Weiss 2009 and Vine 2017 mark it as long (representing a lengthened ablaut grade of the root). As the use of the suffix -s- to form perfects remained productive into Latin, the Latin perfect form could in theory be an independent formation rather than going back to a common ancestor of Latin, Greek and Sanskrit. In the PIE stage, Ringe reconstructs this type of aorist as having a long vowel in the singular but a short vowel in the plural (e.g. *wḗǵʰst vs. *wéǵʰsn̥d). === Verb === vehō (present infinitive vehere, perfect active vē̆xī, supine vectum); third conjugation to carry, bear, convey, transport Synonyms: ferō, portō, trahō, agō, vectō, dūcō, gerō, efferō, dēdūcō, prōdūcō, addūcō, trādūcō (passive voice) to ride; to be borne ==== Usage notes ==== May be used to mean carried by a person, riding a horse, ferried by ship, and many other means of conveyance.
