Proto-Germanic
Alternative reconstructions
- *ajukiz[1]
Etymology
A derivation from *aiwaz, *aiwō. The -k- suffix is uncertain, but Kroonen favors a comparison with Latin iūgis (“continual”) and Ancient Greek ὑγιής (hugiḗs, “healthy, sound, wholesome”) from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yew-gʷih₃- and *h₂yu-gʷih₃- respectively, to assume a reconstruction of Pre-Germanic *h₂oyu-gʷih₃- with an original meaning of "ever-living".
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈɑi̯.wu.kiz/
Adjective
*aiwukiz[1]
- eternal, lasting forever
