Etymology

[edit]

For kaĩp, taĩp, previous attested forms were Old Lithuanian kaipo, taipo. The stems are easy to explain (kaĩ, taĩ, etc.)

  • One hypothesis to explain -po is that it is cognate to Latin -pe, as in Latin quippe.[1][2]
  • Another hypothesis is that -po originates from the preposition .[3] Compare kodė̃l, which is suffixed by a preposition that normally precedes its complement.

Suffix

[edit]

-aĩp

  1. Forms adverbs, with the meaning "in [such] way", from pronominal stems.
