▷ hab-eō lat. haben,
halten; …
Von uital. *habēō oder *haβēō, letzteres könnte von uig. *gʰeh₁bʰ- „greifen, nehmen“ stammen. Vergleiche altirisch gaibid („nimmt, hält“) und polnisch gabać („ansprechen, verklagen“). Engl. „have“ dt. habe ist trotz Ähnlichkeit in Bedeutung und Form kein verwandtes Wort; es ist stattdessen durch uig. mit capiō „nehmen“ verwandt.
- Oscan und Umbrian haben verwandte Formen mit -b-,[1] die ein ursprüngliches -b- widerspiegeln müssen, da uital. -β- (und daher PIE -bʰ-) in diesen Sprachen zu -f- und nicht zu -b- wird. Andererseits ist b ein selten nachgewiesenes Phonem in PIE, dessen Status immer noch umstritten ist. Daher ist der genaue Ursprung dieses Wortes nicht klar.
- Zu den ältesten Zeugnissen zählen die Werke des Plautus (ca. 254 bis 184 v. Chr.) und der Senatus Consultum de Bacchanalibus (186 v. Chr.). Umbrischer Verwandter, bezeugt in den Iguvine-Tafeln (älteste Tafeln aus dem 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr.). Oskanisches verwandtes haf- [2], bezeugt in der Tabula Bantina (89 v. Chr.).

Usage notes
- In Late Latin, as the classical synthetic future tense began to decline in speech from phonetic changes, one of the various periphrases thereof was to use the present inflections of habeo with the infinitive; originally this construction was strictly modal:
- Late 2nd century CE, Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae, Book 20, 10,2:
si quid igitur ex Vergilio, Plauto, Ennio quaerere habes, quaeras licet.
- If you have something then to ask of Vergil & Plautus & Ennius, you may ask it.
