Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Maybe from Proto-Indo-European *uH-two- from a root Proto-Indo-European *weH-, from which Sanskrit ऊरु (ūrú-, “calf”) could also be derived. Probably not related to Latin vatius (“bent outward”) and Latin vatāx (“having a deformity of the feet”), as the connection between “calf” and “bend” is weak.[1][2]
