Comments: VEWT 9, Рясянен 1955, 67, ЭСТЯ I 67, Stachowski 27. The root is very close to another one, *āgu (v. sub *ā́gi), with the same meaning; the reflexes may be phonetically distinguished in Yak. and Tuva (Tuva *agu > ā, cf. Tof. ā 'poison'), in other languages the two roots must have coincided.
