gyere
Hungarian
Etymology
Of unknown origin. It is used in the subjunctive mode of jön (“to come”) instead of the regular subjunctive forms. Its original form may have been jerj. The leading j- to gy- assimilation is similar to jön →gyön, a dialectal variant. For the dropping of the final j compare eper, szeder.[1]
