Actually I'm a non-Latinist myself. I was referring to Greek.
As z* said, the "first person singular active indicative" (which is the usual lexical form) of the Greek word for 'to say' is lego(λέγω).

I could also have said απόλυσω τόν ωόν-ω εμόν (apoluso ton Oon-O emon) which would be "Leggo my eggo"
