Reconstruction:Proto-Hellenic/awéidō
Appearance
Proto-Hellenic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unknown. Related nouns such as *awoidós (“singer”), *awoidā́ (“song”) suggest a Proto-Indo-European root *h₂weyd-,[1] but no cognates in other Indo-European languages are known.[2] Compare, however, Albanian ëzë.
According to Calvert Watkins, Sanskrit वाद (vāda) may be cognate, from *h₂wed- or *h₂weyd-. Julius Pokorny has *au̯ed- (“to speak”), IEW, p.76. See also αὐδή (audḗ). See also Sanskrit उद्यते (udyate, “to be said or spoken”), the passive form of वद् (vad).
