Proto-Celtic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Matasović is indecisive between two etymological possibilities:[1]
- From Proto-Indo-European *kʷo-h₃kʷ-os, a compound of *kʷos (“what”) and *h₃ekʷ- (“to see”), literally "what you see".
- From Proto-Indo-European *kʷeh₂-kʷos, a dvandva compound of feminine *kʷeh₂ and masculine *kʷos (“what”). This etymology is endorsed by Stüber.[2]
