(Laconia) and on <b class="b3">Οἰνοῦσσαι</b> f. pl. (islands) Krahe Beitr. z. Namenforsch. 2, 233.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1120?] <b class="b2">*u̯eiH-</b> [[turn]], [[bend]]<br />Etymology: With <b class="b3">(Ϝ)οῖνος</b> agree, except for the gender and auslaut, Lat. [[vīnum]] (if from <b class="b2">*u̯oinom</b>; Umbr. etc. [[vinu]] then Lat. LW [loanword]), Arm. [[gini]] (< <b class="b2">*u̯oinii̯o-</b>), Alb. <b class="b2">vênë</b> (< <b class="b2">*u̯oinā</b>); an IE word for [[wine]], reconstructed from this, may together with the related Lat. [[vītis]] [[vine]] and many others (s. on [[ἴτυς]]) belong to the group <b class="b2">u̯ei-</b> [[turn]], [[bend]]. As the wild vine a.o. was at home in southern Russia and certain parts of middle Europe, this assumption is acceptable also from the aspect of historical facts. As however the cultivation of the vine has started in the Mediterranean lands or in the Pontus area and in the south of the Caucasus, most scholars incline, to look for the origin of the word in these countries, what would point to non-IE origin. But if we put the homeland of viticulture in the Pontus and the northern Balkan, the word for [[wine]] might come from there. From this IE source would then come not only the words mentioned from Greek, Lat., Arm. and Albania, but also Hitt. <b class="b2">u̯ii̯an(a</b>)-, Hier. Hitt. <b class="b2">wa(i)ana-</b>, and also the relevant Semit. words, e.g. Arab. [[wain]], Hebr. [[jajin]] (common <b class="b2">*wainu-</b>?). Thus Beekes, MSS 48(1987)21-6, who points out that the Hitt. form requires <b class="b2">*u̯ih₁on-</b>. From Lat. [[vīnum]] further the Celt. a. Germ., from Germ. or Latin again the Slav. and (indir.) Balt. wine words; from Arm. [[gini]] e.g. Georg. [[γvino]]. -- Lit. with further details in WP. 1, 226 (IE, resp. PArm.), Pok. 1121, W.-Hofmann s. [[vīnum]] , Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 2, 642 ff., Vasmer s. <b class="b2">vinó</b>. Cf also Kronasser Vorgeschichte und Indogermanistik (Symposion 1959) 122 f..
