Word family
Formed from 𐰘𐱅- [yet-] “to catch up with, overtake; to reach, attain; to suffice” using -d- (constative preterite).
The form -d- belongs to the constative preterite (verbal noun), the ordinary narrative past used primarily for events preceding the moment of speaking or writing. The full paradigm is morphologically formed with -d- followed by possessive-type personal endings (-dı2, -dıŋ2, -dımız2, etc.); -dı/-di is specifically the third-person singular form.
