Proto-Indo-European edit

Etymology edit

From *h₂ew- (“to see”) +‎ *-s (root nominal suffix), with a semantic shift to "to hear" after the split of Anatolian branch.

Reconstruction edit

The initial laryngeal must be *h₂ to account for Latin forms auris, aus-cultō, which must reflect e-grade *h₂ews-.
