Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *gaw- ~ *gōw-, explained by Pogodin[1] as compounded in pre-Proto-Slavic with its descendant of Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws—predecessor of *govь (“cow”) visible in *govędo (“cattlehead”), *govьno (“dung”), and *gavęzь (“bugloss”)—with *mьno formed from the stem of *męti (“to crumple, to scutch”) + *-o—the second noun is confirmed by Latvian mīnas m, mīne f (“clay puddling pit”).
