Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/habukaz

This Proto-Germanic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Possibly ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂p- (seize), possibly through a root *kobuǵos (compare Russian ко́бец (kóbec, falcon), Polish kobuz, Latin capys, capus (bird of prey) (if not loaned from Etruscan), Albanian gabonjë). Kroonen (2013), however, considers the sound correspondences between the words in different Indo-European branches to be too irregular and thus views it as a Wanderwort rather than a common PIE inheritance.
