fhefhaked

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *fefake(d), 3.sg.perf.act.ind. of *fakjō. Compare Latin pepigī beside pēgī, Oscan fefacid.[1] <FH> is the old way to spell /f/ when <F> still meant /w/ (di-gamma), which also appears in Etruscan and Venetic (Φ meant [pʰ] and was therefore not suitable for [ɸ] or [f]).[2] This reduplicated fhefhaked was once a productive perfect-tense verb, but later gave way to fēc- as the way to form the perfect stem of facere.[3]
