𐰚𐰅𐰲-
kēç-
Meaning:
to be late; to be slow
kēç- means ‘to be late, be slow’. It is the verbal counterpart of kēç ‘late, lateness’ and must be distinguished from the short-vowel verb keç- ‘to pass, cross’. The long first vowel is supported by comparative evidence and by early lexicographical tradition. The simple verb became rare during the medieval period and was largely replaced by the derivative kēçik- ‘to be late’; modern forms such as Turkish gecik- and Azerbaijani gecik- therefore do not continue the exact stem.
