"begiratu" meaning in Basque

See begiratu in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /beɡiɾatu/, [be.ɣ̞i.ɾa.t̪u]
Rhymes: -atu, -u Etymology: Borrowed from Latin vigilatum (“to watch, to remain awake”) or some other Romance language. Later associated with begi (“eye”), which influenced the first vowel. Less likely alternative is for it to come from begira (allative of begi (“eye”)) + -tu (verbal suffix).
