ᛇ U+16C7, ᛇ RUNIC LETTER IWAZ EOH ← ᛆ [U+16C6] Runic ᛈ → [U+16C8]

Translingual

Etymology

Two variants of the word are reconstructed for Proto-Germanic, *īhaz (*ē2haz, from the Proto-Indo-European root *eikos), continued in Old English as ēoh and īh, and *īwaz (*ē2waz, from the Proto-Indo-European root *eiwos), continued in Old English as īw (whence yew). The latter is possibly an early loan from the Celtic.
