𐬰𐬁gooseχήν*ǵʰh₂énsgooseहंस
nounfeminineconsonant stemgooseInherited from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns (‘goose’). Compare Albanian gatë, Ancient Greek χήν (khḗn), Avestan 𐬰𐬁 (zā), Irish gé, Latin ānser, Latvian zùoss, Russian гусь (gusʹ), and Sanskrit हंस (haṃsá). Proto-Slavic *gǫ̑sь, however, does not exhibit the regular satem development as Baltic does and is therefore better explained as a Germanic loan, or at least influenced by the Germanic cognate.
