degt,

Etymology

1. From Proto-Balto-Slavic *degtéi, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰégʷʰeti (“to burn”).
2. Regarding the different conjugation of transitive/intransitive, Carrasquer Vidal summarizes the situation as follows: "considering that transitives such as ja-presents make ē-preterits, while intransitives, such as n-infix verbs and sta-verbs, mostly make ā-preterits, a solution focusing on transitivity ~ intransitivity (active vs. middle) suggests itself," i.e., it is not an ad hoc formation to differentiate the two uses but rather the reason why the two conjugation types are different to begin with. See: Proto-Indo-European '*dʰégʷʰeti'.
