"niknǫti" meaning in Proto-Slavic

See niknǫti in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Etymology: Per Derksen, from the root of *nicь (“lying face downwards”), from Proto-Indo-European *ni-h₃kʷo- with the Slavic progressive palatalization, from the root *ni-. Cognate with Sanskrit नि (ni, “downwards”), नीचा (nīcā́, “downwards”). Per Vasmer, there are two etymologically separate verbs here, one with the approximate meaning "to droop, to wilt" and coming from the root of *nicь as above, and another with the approximate meaning "to arise, to penetrate" from a different root. The latter is cognate with Lithuanian nìkti (“to glow”) (1sg. ninkù, 1sg. past nikaũ), įnìkti į̃ dárbą (“to plunge headlong into work”), apnìkti (“to attack”), etc., as well as Old Prussian neikaut (“to walk, to wander”), Latvian niktiês (“to impose oneself”), nikns (“fierce, wicked”), nàiks (“fierce, wicked, angry, quick”), and Ancient Greek νεῖκος (neîkos, “quarrel, dispute”), νεικέω (neikéō, “to quarrel, to attack”), νῑ́κη (nī́kē, “victory”), νῑκάω (nīkáō, “to win”).

Cognate with Sanskrit नि (ni, “downwards”), नीचा (nīcā́, “downwards”).\nPer Vasmer, there are two etymologically separate verbs here, one with the approximate meaning \"to droop, to wilt\" and coming from the root of *nicь as above, and another with the approximate meaning \"to arise, to penetrate\" from a different root. The latter is cognate with Lithuanian nìkti (“to glow”) (1sg. ninkù, 1sg. past nikaũ), įnìkti į̃ dárbą (“to plunge headlong into work”), apnìkti (“to attack”), etc., as well as Old Prussian neikaut (“to walk, to wander”), Latvian niktiês (“to impose oneself”), nikns (“fierce, wicked”), nàiks (“fierce, wicked, angry, quick”), and Ancient Greek νεῖκος (neîkos, “quarrel, dispute”), νεικέω (neikéō, “to quarrel, to attack”), νῑ́κη (nī́kē, “victory”), νῑκάω (nīkáō, “to win”).",
