<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Hmm, I
don't see how ac can be connected to *auk. From <a href="http://www.koeblergerhard.de/publikat.html" target="_blank">www.koeblergerhard.de/publikat.html</a>
I read that it has the variants ah and oc, from Gmc *ake, with relatives in
Gothic ak, Old Frisian âk, Old Saxon ak and Old High German och. That's all
that I can find;)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I
accidentaly bumped into the conjugation of "ja" in the West-Flemish
dialect of Izegem somewhere on the net (also the declination of "nee"
is there), where even gender seems to be distinguished in the 3rd person sg. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">The
etymology of these forms is still very clear, the second element being k <

Thanks, Diederik.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">According
to Pokorny, <i>ac</i> etc. goes back to Indo-European *<i>aĝ-</i> 'to move',
'to swing', 'to drive', 'to lead'. Sounds weird, doesn't it? What is supposed
to be the semantic connection?</span></p>
