Proto-Italic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *wṓkʷs (speech, voice), an o-grade root noun of *wekʷ- (to speak). The change from /kʷ/ to /k/ is unexpected; the expected descendant of *wṓkʷs is *wokʷs or *wōkʷs, which would have yielded the Latin vox stem voqu- or vōqu-.

Noun[edit]

*wōks f[1]

  1. voice
