Frisk Etymological English

1.
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: elderberry tree, mountain ash, Sorbus domestica (Thphr.);
Other forms: οἴη, οὔα. The fruit ὄον, οὖον n. elderberry (Pl. Smp. 190d, Hp., Thphr., Dsc.).
Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [297] *ei-\/oi-wa yew
Etymology: Words, that resemble in form and meaning, are found in many languages. Thus Lat. ūva f. grape, which like ὄα can go back on IE *oiu̯ā; a derivation of this is supposed in Arm. aigi vine (from *oiu̯-ii̯ā). One compared also the Baltic name of the alder buckthorn, Lith. (j)ievà, Latv. iẽva f., with which seems to agree a Slavic name of the willow, e.g. Russ. íva f. This leads again to the Celtogerman. word for yew (taxus), e.g. Ir. eo m., OHG. iwa f.; here further OPr. iuwis yew. -- Whether these words have a common origin, whether we must reckon with old loans, remains uncertain. For common origin e.g. WP. 1, 165, also Pok. 297f. (orig. colour-adj. reddish, motley with unproven further combinations), Specht Ursprung 63 a. 205 (also quite hypothetical). Further lit. also in W.-Hofmann, Fraenkel and Vasmer s. vv., further Bonfante Emer. 2, 287 f. -- From Gr. ὄα, οἴη comes Alb. vo-dhë, va-dhë (Jokl Untersuchungen 207 ff).
