Number: 1954
Root: tag- (oder teg- : tog- : teg-)
English meaning: to touch, gripe
German meaning: `berühren, angreifen'
Material: Gr. τεταγών `fassend' (: lat. tetigī); lat. tangō, -ere, tetigī tactum (alat. auch aoristisches tagō, -ere) `berühren', integer `unversehrt (unangetastet)', tagax `diebisch'; taxim `heimlich', taxō, āre `abschätzen, betasten'; unklar mit -gh- volsk. atahus Fut. II `attigerit', marruc. ta[h]a oder ta[g]a `tangat'; lat. contamināre `entweihen' zu contagiō `Berührung';

    ags. ðaccian `sanft berühren, streicheln', and. thakolōn `streicheln'; vielleicht hierher vom Begriffe `streicheln, fein anzufühlen': ir. tais `weich, feucht, sanft', gall. Taxi-magulus;

    falls air. tongid `schwört', dī-tong- `verneinen', Perf. do-ru-thethaig (*te-tog-e) Verbalnomen dīthech (*dī-tego-) dazu gehört (zu cymr. tyngu `schwören', corn. to-, mbret. toeaff, nbret. toui ds.), ist vielleicht eine idg. Wurzel *teg- anzusetzen, wozu noch phryg. eti-te-tik-menos `verflucht' gehört; das gr. lat. a wäre dann Red.-Stufe, wie lat. a in frangō (oben S. 165), usw.

Comments: A Turk.-Mong. isogloss; not quite reliable, because in Turkic one has to suppose assimilative voicing (*dẹg- < *dẹk-). In Korean and Japanese the reflexes of the root could have merged with those of *tàk`u q. v.

Comments: VEWT 468-469, EDT 476, ЭСТЯ 3, 173-175, Stachowski 224. Sal. deš-, dial. teš-, tejiš- 'to burn' must be derived from the same root ("to reach fire"). A very complicated issue is the relationship of this root to PT *dēk, *dēki- 'to, up to' (usually acting as a postposition) - see ЭСТЯ 2, 182-185, EDT 477 (added should be also Yak. dieki 'in the direction of', Dolg. diek, diegi 'side', see Stachowski 79). The phonology here is quite puzzling: one would be tempted to regard the medial -k- as an archaism (see below on the irregularity of *-g- in Turkic), but the open long *-ē- presents great difficulties (since the verbal root itself most definitely has a short closed *-ẹ-). A possible solution is to correct the reconstruction *dēk(i) to *dẹge-ki and regard the *-k(i) as an original locative suffix; this seems plausible because another attested form of the postposition is *dẹgi-n (cf. especially reflexes like Tat. dial. tiŋ, KKalp. dejin, Kaz. dejĭn, Nogh. dejim).
