Cinteti and ceteti [Sanskrit cetati to appear, perceive, and cintayati to think, cit (see citta 2 ) in two forms: (a) active base with nasal infix cint (cf. muñc, yuñj, siñc, etc.); (b) medium base (denominative) with guṇa cet (cf. moc, yoj, sec, etc, and the analogous formations of chid, chind, ched under chindati) to °(s)qait: see citta 1 , with which further cp. {269} caksu, cikita, ciketi, cikitsati, and in meaning passati (he sees = he knows), Greek οἰδα = vidi, English view = thought, German anschauung] — Forms: (a) cint: present cinteti; potential cinteyya; present participle cintento and cintayanto (Snp 834); — preterit cintesi, 3rd plural cintesuṃ (Ja I 149), acintayuṃ (Snp 258); — gerund cintetvā (Ja I 279) and cintiya (Mhv 7, 17, 32); — gerundive cinteyya and cintetabba; past participle cintita (q.v.). Cf. also cintana, cintin. (b) cet: present ceteti and cetayati (S I 121), potential cetaye (Pv II 9 7 = cinteyya Pv-a 116); present participle cetayāna (Ja V 339); future cetessati (Vin III 19); — preterit acetayi (Pv I 6° = cetesi Pv-a 34); — gerund cecca (Vin III 112; IV 290); also cicca: see sañ°. — gerundive cetabba (for *cetetabba only at Ja IV 157, v.l. ceteyya, explained by cintetabba); — past participle cetayita (q.v.). Cf. also cetanā. Note: The relation in the use of the two forms is that cet is the older and less understood form, since it is usually explained by cint, whereas cint is never explained by cet and therefore appears to be the more frequent and familiar form.
