nešti

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *neśtei (“carry, bring”); compare Latvian nest, Proto-Slavic *nestì. From Proto-Indo-European *h₁neḱ- (“carry, bring”); compare Tocharian B eṅk- (“take”) < *h₁n̥ḱ-, Ancient Greek ἐνεγκεῖν (enenkeîn, “bring”) < reduplicated present *h₁ne-h₁n̥ḱ-. This root seems to have frequently been confused with *h₂neḱ- (“reach”), whence Latin nancīscor.[1]

IPA^(key): /ˈnʲɛʃ.tʲɪ/
