Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/augô

From an n-suffixed form of Proto-Indo-European *h₃ekʷ- (“eye; to see”), with analogical introduction of the diphthong -au- from *auzô (“ear”),^[1] or alternatively metathesized from earlier *agwô (→ *awgô). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?) The voicing due to Verner's law points to an originally accented suffix, which may have been introduced from the oblique forms of a pre-Proto-Germanic paradigm *ahwô ~ *agwnes (→ *augnes, whence back-formed *augô), which must have been formed at a late stage as it evaded Kluge's law; or it may be analogical with agent nouns in *-ô (like *slagô, *tugô; “eye” would have been “that which sees”), the paradigm of which in any case *augô may have been partly leveled to.
