Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic [Term?], from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew- (“to perceive, see”). Cognates include Old Lithuanian ovyje, Sanskrit आविस् (āvis), Avestan 𐬁𐬬𐬍𐬱 (āvīš), Proto-Germanic *awiz.

The pan-Slavic range of the word is evidenced by derived terms.

Nouns in daughter languages pointing at *ava, *avo, *avь, *avъ have been formed in post-Proto-Slavic[1] from adverb[2] or verb.[3]
