Etymology

[edit]

Probably a loanword from a pre-Indo-European substrate language due to the fact that it cannot be derived from any known root; the putative shape of the borrowed word would be something like *gʰayd-, with the only sure cognate of Proto-Germanic *gaits (goat).[1] According to Bjørn, from the same source as Proto-Semitic *gady-, Proto-Berber *a-ɣăyd, Proto-Nakh *gaazaᶰ.[2]
