Proto-Germanic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂- (“horn”) +‎ *-utaz. Cognate with Lithuanian karvė (“cow”), Russian коро́ва (koróva, “cow, neat”), Latin cervus (“deer, stag”), Welsh carw (“hart, stag”).[1] Alternatively, from an irregular development of *ḱérh₂tos, with PIE *-H- > PGmc *-u- in non-initial syllables,[2][3] cf. Old High German anut (“duck”) < PGmc *anud- < Proto-Indo-European *h₂énh₂t-. The latter may be likelier as *-utaz is unknown as an affix in PGmc. Regardless, both derivations stem from the same root.
