Etymology 1

[edit]

From Middle Persian 𐭥𐭩𐭭𐭩𐭪 (wēnīg), traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (to see) and related to بین (bīn / bin, form of دیدن (dīdan / didan)).

However, Gershevitch rejects this etymology, transcribing the Middle Persian term as wīnīg instead, and deriving it from Proto-Iranian *wí (apart) + an Iranian formation descended from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (to breathe). The prefix is from Proto-Indo-Iranian *wí, from Proto-Indo-European *wí (apart).[1]

Connection with Northern Kurdish bêvil (nose) is uncertain.
