slėpti

Cognate with Latvian slēpt, of uncertain further origin. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)klep- (“to steal”), with dissimilative loss of the *-k- from the *skl-, and cognate with Tocharian B kälyp- (“id”), Ancient Greek κλέπτω (kléptō, “id”). However, this assumes that the Proto-Indo-European root had an s-mobile originally, which is not certain, as no descendants in other branches show evidence of the s-mobile.^[1][2][3]
