Augment

From LoveToKnow 1911

AUGMENT (Lat. augere, to increase), in Sanskrit and Greek grammar the vowel prefixed to indicate the past tenses of a verb; in Greek grammar it is called syllabic, when only the E is prefixed; temporal, when it causes an initial vowel in the verb to become a diphthong or long vowel.
