spáō

spáō agr. σπᾰ́ω

Klingenschmitt has connected the Greek verb with Old Armenian հանեմ (hanem, “to draw or pull out”), while García-Ramón suggests that is cognate with Hittite (pippa-) and reconstructs Proto-Indo-European *(s)peh₂- (“to draw, set in motion”).

Pronunciation IPA^(key): /spá.ɔː/ → /ˈspa.o/ → /ˈspa.o/
