Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ǵʰh₂éns
Proto-Indo-European
editEtymology
editLikely of imitative origin. See *gerh₂ḗn (“crane”) for a similar onomatopoeia-based bird name.
Nonetheless, Hyllested and others have suggested a (genetic) relationship with Proto-Finno-Ugric *joŋkće, with regular correspondence of Proto-Uralic *j- and Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰ-.[1] Similarity to Proto-Turkic *kāz (“goose”) is often discussed as well, but this is likely coincidental.
