Proto-Celtic edit
Etymology edit
Generally held as cognate to Proto-Italic *kubāō (“to lie down”); whether the Proto-Indo-European form was *kewbʰ-, *kewb-, or *(s)kewbʰ- is uncertain. Matasović, in a desperate attempt to find non-Italo-Celtic cognates, takes *(s)kewbʰ- as the proto-form, and relates the Celtic and Italic terms to Proto-Germanic *skeubaną (“to shove”), noting that Latin iacio (“to throw”) and iaceo (“to lie”) are examples of words that demonstrate an association between "throwing forward" actions and "lying down" actions.[1] Germanicists do not follow this comparison.
