híēmi

híēmi ἵημι Sprachstufe::agr. , „senden, werfen“.

From Proto-Hellenic *yīyēmi, reduplicated present of Proto-Indo-European *(H)yeh₁- (“to throw”). Compare Latin iaciō, Hittite [script needed] (pe-iezzi, “sends away”). This has been connected with Hittite [script needed] (iya-, “to do, make”), but that hypothesis is rejected by Kloekhorst (2008).
