Root edit

*h₃engʷ-[2][3]

  1. to smear, to anoint

Reconstruction notes edit

LIV reconstructs *h₂ instead of *h₃ on account of Ancient Greek -αμβος (-ambos) in θρίαμβος (thríambos) and the like. The o-grade in Latin unguō must then be analogical from Latin unguen (fat, cream).[1]

Derived terms edit

    • Proto-Italic: *ongʷō

  • *h₃éngʷ-n̥ ~ *h₃n̥gʷ-én-s (fat, butter) (see there for further descendants)
  • *h₃éngʷ-os ~ *h₃éngʷ-es-os
