'to request'

ETYMOLOGY

{Why does EY preserve the cognate to NHG beten, but not to NHG bitten? Perhaps because the meaning 'to pray' was assigned to another verb (דאַווענען), beten could be assigned the meaning of the verb bitten 'to ask'. What is the state of WY?}
I. Proto-Yiddish ✱beːtən; Proto-EY ✱beːtn; from MHG beten 'to pray; (rarely) to request'.
Protovowel E5.

{Katz 1982: 60}
II. MHG beten 'to pray'; from OHG betōn, derived from OHG beta 'request' (cognate of English bead, from OE gebed 'prayer').
{DW² 4: 1109; Pfeiffer EWD.}
III. Got. bidjan, ON biðja, OE biddan, English to bid, OS biddian, OHG bitten, MHG bitten, NHG bitten,; from PGmc ✱bedjan- 'to ask, beg, pray'; from PIE (?) ✱bʰedʰ-ie-
Got. bida, OE bedu, OS beda; bedon OHG beta; betōn 'to request, pray', MHG beten 'to request, pray', NHG beten 'to pray'; from PGmc ✱bed-ō 'request, prayer'; from PIE ✱gʷʰedʰ-; cf. Lithuanian gedė́ti 'to mourn', Russian жада́ть 'to thirst for', Polish żądać, Greek πόθος 'longing'
