Single-entry extract from the dictionary. Cross-references to other entries point to their identifiers in the full dictionary.
verbStrong class 2to beatPossibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlewh₁-e/o-, from root *bʰlewh₁- though there are no other secure Indo-European cognates. For theoretical form, compare *kewwaną < *ǵyewh₁-, *brewwaną < *brewh₁-. Derivations from a root starting in *ml- seem an unlikely phonological stretch.
