carwhart, stag*ḱerh₂-horncervusdeer, stagkarvėcow
nounmasculinea-stemhart, stagFrom Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂- (‘horn’) + *-utaz. Cognate with Lithuanian karvė (‘cow’), Russian коро́ва (koróva, ‘cow, neat’), Latin cervus (‘deer, stag’), Welsh carw (‘hart, stag’). Alternatively, from an irregular development of *ḱérh₂tos, with PIE *-H- > PGmc *-u- in non-initial syllables, cf. Old High German anut (‘duck’) < PGmc *anud- < Proto-Indo-European *h₂énh₂t-. The latter may be likelier as *-utaz is unknown as an affix in PGmc. Regardless, both derivations stem from the same root.
