cognate sōl msun
nounmasculinean-stemthe sun(SS: See Sun and Moon paper in Celtic in PIE folder matasovic) Suggested to be a nominalization of a lost adjective, possibly from *sunnaz (‘sunny’) + *-ô (agent suffix), from Proto-Indo-European *sh₂un-wó-s, from *sóh₂wl̥ ~ *sh₂wéns (‘sun’) + *-wós, or leveled from earlier paradigm *sundō ~ *sunᵈnaz, from *sundaz (‘sunny’) + *-ô (agent suffix). from *sh₂un-tó-s, from *sóh₂wl̥ ~ *sh₂wéns + *-tós. Feminine *sunnǭ (‘sun’) perhaps constructed in an opposing gender pair with masculine *mēnô (‘moon’), akin to Latin cognate sōl m (‘sun’) and lūna f (‘moon’).
