Proto-Celtic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Disputed. There are three major schools of thought, summarized by Irslinger:[1]
- Pokorny, LEIA, De Bernardo Stempel,[1] and Matasović[2] connect this to the descendants of Proto-Germanic *seukaz (“sick”), via a root *sewg-.
- Schrijver, who connects Breton souezh to this term, reconstructs *stuxt- and relates this to Latin stupeō.[3] The common root would be *(s)tewp- (“to push”).
- Watkins and Hamp reconstruct *soxtos and derive this from a root *sek- (“to dry up”). This etymology, unlike the other two, is incompatible with Breton souezh.
