Etymology

Inherited version of the Proto-Indo-European augment. Cognates exist in Vedic Sanskrit, Modern Greek, Pontic Greek, Albanian, Armenian and others.

Prefix

i-

  1. Used as part of forming the past tense in most verbs
    Kamno -> Ikamna (I do -> I did)
    Note: In older versions of the language, the augment was only present in some verbs, and other verbs would use ablaut instead for number and tense inflection. It was during the late 19th century that this prefix began getting used in more and more verbs and the ablaut being mostly abandoned.
