Proto-Indo-European[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Pooth argues that *h₂éwis and *h₂ówis (sheep) are related and both from a root *h₂ew- (dress, be dressed, clothe oneself).[1] *h₂éwis would mean "the one who is clothed (in feathers)", and *h₂ówis "the one that produces clothing (from wool)", the latter having detransitive or middle meaning marked by *o.

Noun[edit]

*h₂éwis f[2]
