Proto-Slavic[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Onomatopoeic, seemingly related to Proto-Slavic *čukъ (“knock, clatter”), *cukъ (“tick, tock”). Probably derived from a non-attested *čuti (“to growl, to bark”) + *-xъ attested as extended *čьvati. Compare further Proto-Indo-European *kew- (“to howl, to wail”), *(s)kew- (“to shout, to scold”).
For the suffix, compare Proto-Slavic *kyxъ (“cough”), *ťuxъ (“wail”), *buxъ (“woo, cough”), *puxъ (“pant”).
Noun[edit]
*čuxъ m
- growl, grouch, bark (low, rumbling sound)
- puff, sniffle (action that produces rumbling noise)
- choo (as interjection)
