Etymology

[edit]

A term found in the Euphratic substrate theory, which connects it to Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws (cow). This word in particular is not of atypical syllable structure for being native Sumerian, which is the main sign indicating a potential borrowing into the language. Gordon Whittaker (2008) proposed that the language of the proto-literary texts from the Late Uruk period (c. 3350–3100 BC) is an early Indo-European language that he terms Euphratic.
