(deprecated template usage)

From Proto-Indo-European *kh₁u-, from the root *keh₁w-. Cognate with Latin cēveō (to move the backside in a lewd manner, to twerk). Vasmer suggests a possible additional cognate in Gothic 𐍃𐌺𐌴𐍅𐌾𐌰𐌽 (skēwjan, to wander), while Chernykh adds as possibilities Ossetian чи́уын (ḱíwyn, to stagger, to stumble) (also кеун (kewn)), Kurdish.
