*slakwjaną
Runic: ᛊᛚᚨᚲᚹᛃᚨᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈslɑkʷ.jɑ.nɑ̃/verb · Weak class 1
Meanings
(transitive) to quench, extinguish
Etymology
Causative of *slekwaną (‘to extinguish, go out’). Seebold leaves the origin open, while Orel compares Lithuanian slė́gti (‘to press, squeeze’) and Latin langueo (‘to be faint’), apparently considering the verb related to *slakaz (‘weak, slack’).
