Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Per Derksen, the root vowel stems from lengthening of the zero grade of Proto-Indo-European *gʰubʰ- from the root *gʰewbʰ-, with the addition of the Proto-Slavic suffix *-nǫti; the acute tone of the root is a secondary development, common in verbs ending in *-nǫti. Compare *gubìti (to destroy), the corresponding causative. Also cognate with *gъbnǫti (to bend). Other scholars reconstruct the PIE root differently from Derksen; see discussion under *gъbnǫti.
