verbStrong class 7bto increase, growFrom Proto-Indo-European thematic present *h₂éwg-e/o-, from root *h₂ewg-Kroonen 2013: 42. The basic sense was probably intransitive ‘become greater or stronger’, with transitive ‘increase, augment’ developing secondarily. Cognate with Old Armenian աճեմ, probably from Proto-Armenian *awčémi < *h₂(e)ug-(y)e-mi Martirosyan 2010: 43, s.v. ačem; Lithuanian áugti and Latvian augtDerksen 2015: s.v. augti; and Latin augeō. The latest LIV² addenda explicitly includes the Armenian verb and prefers an essive rather than the formerly proposed causative analysis of Latin augeōKümmel 2011-2026: 40, s.v. h₂eu̯g-Rix et al. 2001: 274–275.
