"ἧμαι" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἧμαι in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /hɛ̂ː.mai̯/, /ˈi.mɛ/, /ˈi.me/, /hɛ̂ː.mai̯/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈ(h)e̝.mɛ/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈi.mɛ/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈi.me/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈi.me/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *h₁ḗsti, from *h₁eh₁s- (“to sit”) (with cognates in Indo-Iranian and Anatolian), which may be an extension of *h₁es- (“to be”). Cognate with Sanskrit आस्ते (ā́ste, “to stay; to sit”), Avestan 𐬁𐬯𐬙𐬈 (āste), Hittite [script needed] (ēša), Hittite [script needed] (āšzi). The initial /h/ is due to influence from etymologically unrelated forms derived from *sed- (“to sit”).
