Etymology

Mechanically, from a Proto-Indo-European *ḱwey- (‘to hiss, whistle, whisper’), which appears to be onomatopoeic, and of similar formation to *ḱwes- (‘to puff, sigh’). Possibly related to Proto-Slavic *kviliti, *kvilěti (‘to neigh, to squeak, to wail’). See also *hwistlōną (‘to whistle’).
