Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series 11)GuusKroonenBrill2013*-iskoscharacteristic of, typical of, pertaining toअनेहस्flawless, irreproachable; unrivalled*h₂eygʷʰ-to be defective or blameworthy
adja-stemshameful, disgraceful; blameworthyProbably from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eygʷʰ-isko-s, formed from a poorly attested root *h₂eygʷʰ- with the relational-adjectival suffix *-iskos. The root is otherwise supported mainly by Sanskrit अनेहस् < *n̥-h₂eygʷʰ-os-, literally ‘without fault’; both the reconstruction and its precise meaning remain somewhat uncertain Kroonen 2013: 16.
