आविस्

Sanskrit

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *Hāwíṣ, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hāwíš, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂owís, from the root *h₂ew- (“to see, perceive”), whence also possibly उवे (uvé). Cognates include Ancient Greek αἰσθάνομαι (aisthánomai, “to perceive”), Hittite 𒌋𒀪𒄭 (u-uḫ-ḫi, “I see”) and Latin audiō (“I hear, listen”).

Traditional etymologists connect it to वहिस् (vahis) and अव (ava), or to आविद् (ā-vid).
