### Etymology

The infinitive and present tense forms come from Proto-Baltic *eitei, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey- (the old athematic present tense forms *eimu, *iemu, etc. were lost and replaced with new forms derived directly from *h₁ey-). The past tense forms come from Proto-Balto-Slavic *gā́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₂- (“to come”), from which also Lithuanian góti (“to go quickly”), English come).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: [iɛ̂t], IPA: [iɛ̄t]
