*gʷʰew-to revere, look at*gově̀tito revere, fast
verbWeak class 3to inspect; to take into accountUncertain. The traditional connection to Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰew- (‘to revere, look at’) (whence Proto-Slavic *gově̀ti (‘to revere, fast’)), implying a reconstructed Germanic form *gawēną, is contradicted by the nasal vowel in the descendant Elfdalian gą̊, and comparisons to Proto-Germanic *gaumaz (‘heed, attention’) are similarly phonetically difficult.
