βουκόλος
Ancient Greek
Etymology
From Proto-Hellenic *gʷoukólos, whence also Mycenaean Greek 𐀦𐀄𐀒𐀫 (qo-u-ko-ro /gʷowkolos/), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷow-kólos, from *gʷṓws (“cow”) + *kʷól-os (“herder”), from *kʷel- (“to turn, to cultivate”). This Proto-Indo-European *gʷow-kólos shows the phonological labial dissimilation known as the eponymous boukólos rule. Compare Proto-Celtic *boukolyos.
