noun masculine a-stem maternal uncle; mother’s brother From earlier *awun-haima-, a compound of the n-stem *awun-/*awan- (belonging to *awô) + *haimaz, originally probably ‘one living in or belonging to the maternal grandfather’s household’ Boutkan & Siebinga 2005: 86–87, s.v. em Lehmann 1986a: 53, s.v. *awo. The interpretation of the second constituent as *haimaz is generally preferred, though comparison with Welsh tad cu has prompted an alternative interpretation ‘dear’ Boutkan & Siebinga 2005: 87. The first constituent ultimately continues Proto-Indo-European *h₂éwh₂os; compare Latin avunculus, Lithuanian avýnas, Old Church Slavonic ujь, and Welsh ewythr Mallory & Adams 1997: 238.
