*g⁽ʷ⁾ʰew-to perceiveघुष्soundगूहतिto hide
nounmasculinea-stemheed, attentionKroonen reconstructs this word from earlier *gaugmaz (compare *draumaz), and connects it with Sanskrit गूहति (gūhati, ‘to hide’) (with analogical -ū-), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰewǵʰ-, *gʷʰewǵʰ-, assuming the original meaning was "to heed, guard".Alternatively, Mayrhofer connects this word with Proto-Indo-Iranian *gʰáwšas (‘noise, sound’) (whence Persian گوش (gôš, ‘ear’) and Sanskrit घुष् (ghuṣ, ‘sound’)), assuming an original form of Proto-Indo-European *g⁽ʷ⁾ʰew- (‘to perceive’) from which both roots derive.
