Runic: ᚺᚨᛒᚢᚲᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈxɑ.βu.kɑz/noun · masculine · a-stem
Meanings
hawk
Etymology
Possibly ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *kap- (‘seize’), but in view of Proto-Slavic *kobь̀cь, *kobъzъ (‘small bird of prey: falcon ~ sparrowhawk ~ merlin ~ buzzard’) apparently from a word along the lines of *kobʰuǵos. (Kroonen 2013), however, considers the sound correspondences between the words in different Indo-European branches to be too irregular and thus views it as a Wanderwort rather than a common PIE inheritance. Note also Latin capys, capus (‘bird of prey’) and Albanian gabonjë (‘eagle, griffon vulture, hawk’), themselves of unknown and likely substrate origin. If the Slavic cognate is a native formation, the Germanic may have been borrowed from it at an early stage prior to Grimm's law.
