Archi: baq̇Ia-

Comment: The root is attested only in Archi, and has rather an exceptional conjugation there (baq̇Iá-s, pres. baq̇Iá-r, aor. boq̇Ió with a final stress), suggesting that b- is a former class prefix, and that the initial vowel of the root is reduced. The -n-conjugation is extremely hypothetical (suggested only by the external data).

Zuberoan: jin

Roncalese: xin

Comments: This verb, in the form jaugin (or inflections thereof) was used by early writers such as Etxepare (16^th c.) and Pouvreau (17^th c.). Per Azkue, the full form jaugin is now restricted to Baigorri. (See Trask 1997: 294.) Western dialects prefer *e=tor̄i 'to come' (q.v.).
